Mary Turner says
Thankfully we have many fun memories of our time together. Know you will miss her. Let the warm memories lead you. She sang at our wedding and when Lisa died, she was at the table at Mrs Turner’s house and did not say a word, but held my hand so firm that I knew her thoughts. Do not remember much of others words, but remember her and no words needed.

Our sympathies to all of the family. She also sang at our wedding, and wasa gifted musician. She will be remembered for her talents, and compassion she shared with our family. She married my brother with 6 siblings, and Barbara was an only child, but she adapted well.
Love to all,
Ted and Jane Crump
