I hope you will accept my apologies for intruding at this sad time. I saw Barbara's picture and obituary, and it touched me. I am assuming that she suffered with M.S., and as someone that has suffered with degenerative disk disease for some thirty years, and recently been diagnosed with breast cancer, I can only say that your feelings must be bittersweet.
I lost my mother on Good Friday, and like Barbara, she too had been suffering some time. It pained us terribly to see her wither away to someone that we hardly recognized, being unconscious in the end.
In any event, I believe that it is possible that I met Barbara some years ago. I hail from the Smithville area, so am familiar of course with your area, having several relatives in Grimsby/West Lincoln.
What most impressed me about Barbara's picture was her beautiful smile, and I am sure that no matter what, she faced life with grace and dignity.
And so, Barbara, I am also sure, that the Angels have welcomed yet another Angel into their midst, for this one shall be missed here on earth.
Until you meet her again, my sincerest condolences.
