I am so sorry for your loss of Barbara. Her beautiful smile and funny laugh always made everyone feel good. God bless all of you, she is at peace.
I offer my deepest condolences to the Manriquez family for the loss of your dear mother Barbara. While Barbara was on hospice, I’ve had the privilege and honor to visit her twice a week as a volunteer. I felt she appreciated the company, even though she was unable to verbalize.
Barbara, you will be missed by all your loved ones, but we take comfort you are back Home with God and the Angels and watching down on your family. Be at peace now.
