Barb,
Several days ago I signed on here to write to you and I soaked my keyboard with tears for you and your family. So now I am giving it another try. I know my Momma and your Bro are so excited that you are home. I bet Grandpa is still cracking his little jokes up there like he did here. I wish your life here could have been so different. I hope when your kids are grown that they know the heart you had within you. I hope you knew how much we all loved you despite your short comings. It breaks my heart to see that three people signed this book so far, but it fills my heart that you will never know that. My prayers are always with the entire Gunther family, your family, and your friends. May God comfort, strenghthen, and bless each of you abundantly daily!
Love Your Cousin, Michelle
PS My keyboard is wet again….

I’m so sorry to hear of Barbara’s passing. I haven’t been in touch in years, but I thought of her often. I always prayed that she was safe and happy. I’m glad to see she had a beautiful family. I hope everyone is doing well. Warmest regards, Cristin
