I was just a kid in Evansville Indiana when my cousin Joe came down for a couple of weeks in the summer time to visit. At the end of the visit my Aunt Barbara and my Uncle John drove down to Evansville to pick up Joe. When they left, they took my brother Charlie with them to spend a couple of weeks up in Plainfield. I was heartbroken that I didn’t get invited and I cried my eyes out. After about 30 minutes, here they came. Aunt Barbara made Uncle John turn around to come and get me too. I was elated and I never forgot the fun visit to Aunt Barbara and Uncle John’s that summer!
She asked me to be her bridesmaid at her wedding, I was so happy. The first really fancy dress and shoes I ever owned. She was the most beautiful bride.
Wow…I will always remember Aunt Barb as being so good natured and accepting, with the most amazing sense of humor. At the same time she could get so sappy over things….I can remember seeing her literally cry over my Dad’s guitar playing and singing on the rare occasions the whole extended family got together. As a kid I thought that was so odd —- now I realize how sweet, loving, and tender hearted my Aunt Barb was. RIP dear lady… and thank GOD for the capacity to hold memoriesߒݰߒݰߒ
