It is and will be for quite some time surreal and numbing to have lost such a beautiful Aunt, Mother, Oma, sister, friend, and kind person with such a lively spirit. My selfishness wants her here with us to continue to be with her family and travel her multiple worldwide journeys and trips, but than reality sets in as she was called back for her biggest and best journey yet. Now I can only hope and pray that my cousins and my mom, their families, and everyone and anyone who was blessed to have been a part of Aunt Barb's life, even if brief can find comfort and peace knowing she is no longer suffering until we can all one day be reunited again. I know her spirit will live on forever in all the wonderful times and memories created. All the love, thoughts and prayers are with you all during this most difficult time and transition. XOXO
