Our thoughts and prayers are with entire family…..

Aunt Barbara was a special Aunt. She had me stay with her when growing up several times when my parents were out of town. It was a great time to get closer to my cousin Fred. We were five years apart, but we had fun together. Aunt Barbara was a wonderful sister to my mother. She helped her often after my father went to be with the Lord. I loved her dearly. We will miss seeing her when we come up from Texas. You were faithful in reading your Daily Bread! You can now be with your family members who you loved and missed so much. Love you Aunt Barbara, Jane and Mark Sutkowski
Sending heavenly gratitude for a great 2nd grade room mother, making green eggs and ham, showcasing spectacular snow forts in her front yard, the guaranteed site of a young Fred exploring the Indiana Street creek after every rain, and for giving the world the loving and fun Sparks family, I send your entire family warm wishes of comfort. “Thanks for the memories.” May God bless all of you.
