Aunt Barbara,
I’m not going to say goodbye but so long for now. I have some of the funniest childhood memories with you. You always made sure I was ok. You saved my life when I was drowning in your pool, firecrackers in the garbage pail and I’m grateful for all of those memories. I loved your beagle and actually have had one for about 13 years now. I wished you could’ve met Arianna because she is beautiful and my heart and soul. You’re always going to remain my Godmother and I love you so much and wished I had been apart of your later life. I love you so much. Rest now in peace. Amen

The one thing I always think of with Barbara was her passion for certain performers, either on Broadway, in music, or in movies. If John Lloyd Young was in a musical, she would have to see him. If Johnny Depp was in a new movie, that was going to make her list. Every time her garage door opened, you could not miss the large picture of Johnny Depp. It always made me and still makes me smile.

I still remember her talking to me about preparing for the baby to come. We were at the point of stocking up supplies before the birth. She was SO excited that we bought Dreft detergent. She missed the smell of babies so much, she asked to smell it! Eric and I still smile remembering that!
She always had a smile for everyone. She loved giving out trick-or-treat candy for the neighborhood children and made sure the house was decorated for each holiday. Having coffee at 1 pm and chatting about everything under the sun made the day seem better. It is a blessing to have known her. Eric and I are so very sorry for your loss.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

My heart was broken when my Mom passed. I didn’t expect that it could break again so quickly. Aunt Barbara was special. I loved her matching outfits. When I saw her last -during the visit to Arizona, we had so much fun. She looked great with her dress riding my tricycle around my yard. I will never forget that ! I wish I could have spent more time with her. She helped my Mom, more than she realized. Her phone calls helped my Mom get through the immense loss & grief of losing my Dad. They talked every single day! My Mom loved her & relied on her. Aunt Barbara loved Uncle Johnny for many years & they were A great team! My heart continues to break for him & of course John & Rose, Todd, & Paula & all her beautiful grandchildren. She was so proud of all of them! I will miss you Aunt B.
Love,, The Regan Family.

My beautiful aunt, I am so heartbroken at the news of your passing. I have so many amazing memories as a kid with my cousins, at your pool, barbecues and holidays. You always made me laugh and your house was always so clean….haha. I remember when you and uncle Johnny searched everywhere to find my son Ryan a teletubby, and found one. We came to visit you from Arizona and you made my son so happy. I am so honored to have had you as my aunt. Rest in peace with my momma. Until we all meet again ❤️❤️❤️❤️💔

To my second family,
Barbra was the brightest, loudest, and funniest person in the room at all times. You could not miss her presence, and you definitely couldn't miss her matching outfits with her nail polish either. She always had me laughing uncontrollably and checked in on my entire family every time I saw her. There is no doubt in my mind that she will pop up during the holidays for years to come , reminding everyone that she's still around. I love you all endlessly and I am so, so, so, sorry for this loss. Words dont help, but lets keep her memory alive.
