Our deepest sympathy to Billy
Dear Billy,
Though we have not kept in touch with you over the years, we want you to know that we are sorry for the loss of your mom.
I know what it is to lose your mom. My mom passed away Christmas of 1996 at the age of 54. Her passing was hard for me, but even harder for Aryn ( our daughter) who was only 8 at the time. So we feel for Austin and the kids too.
We just wanted to take a moment to let you know we are thinking of you and your family at this difficult time. Just remember Billy, you may be saying goodbye to her for now, but you will see her again. She is no longer in pain, she will never know sadness again, and when you are reunited with her, she will be welcoming you into a place where you will get to be with her forever. God Bless you and your family Billy.
With deepest sympathy,
Beth, Chris, Aryn & Gianna Carbone

Good person with a great sense of humor.
My husband and I would like to offer our condolences. We both worked with Barb at Schramm, Inc. She was truly a good person, with a great sense of humor, and we're sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Richard & Donna Thompson
Billy, Mindi, and Austin,
While there are no words to help ease the loss of your mom, try to take comfort in knowing she is in a better place.
Barb was a wonderful lady. I will cherish the talks we used to have, the rides to Parkesburg (and how we got there in no time), and her great sense of humor!
We pray you, Mindi and Austin all find comfort and peace during this difficult time. We will continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Our deepest sympathies
Billy and family,
Earl and I would like to express our deepest sympathies to you at this sad time. Your mom was a very friendly and nice lady to visit with. I only spoke to her a few times but those times were pleasant ones. She was a close and dear friend to Earl's mom and dad and they will truely miss her also. Take comfort that she is now with our Lord and in a place where pain and troubles do not exist. She will be with you always and will be your guardian angel. Hold on to the fond memories that were made throughout your life and that will help ease the pain of her absense. Take care and may God bless you all.
A very dear and old friend
Our deepest sympathy to you and your family.
You do not know me; but your Mother and I were very close friends in high school. She was with me when I met my husband at a sock hop (we both loved to dance) and she was in our wedding. I knew her Pappy and family in N.J.
We have stayed in contact thru emails as I live in Orlando, FL. I had wanted her to come visit me because when she was young she loved Florida but I couldn't convince her.
I will truly miss her but will never forget her--we had so many good times together.
May God give you peace in this time of sorrow and may Barbara rest in peace.
Barbara Ann Lowery will be missed
Billy and family,
Bobbie was my cousin and I remember spending time with her when I visited Pappy’s house each Sunday and on holidays (Russell Buffington in West Chester). When I was a little girl, she used to paint my finger nails while she listened to Elvis records. I also remember going shopping for her party dresses on 69th Street and how she decorated the Christmas tree every year. Many years later, she would come to visit my mother (Betty Lou Rogers) and she would bring Billy along. Unfortunately, this is probably the last time I saw Billy in person. More recently I would talk with Barb on the phone or communicate by e-mail or FaceBook. I'll miss talking with her and I'll never forget her. I’m so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it was for her to breathe and how hard it was for her to get around. I truly believe she's in a better place now. Keep remembering all the good times you had with her. She’ll always be with you in spirit. I’m sorry that I can’t be at the funeral to pay my respects. I’ll keep you in my prayers during this difficult time. Sincerely, Lisa Rogers Nudy (Newburgh, Indiana)

Dear Lowrey Family,
I am not sure if you remember us but we used to live in front of your Mom and Dad in Crestwood. I was pregnant with my younger daughter when you Mom got ill and your Dad came over for my help. I was glad to help and was glad that she recovered that year. She was so nice and made me a beautiful while Xmas wreath out of yarn and gave me a real nice card. I am soory for your loss I did not know she was ill. I had kept in touch for a few years after we moved from Crestwood but since I moved back to Gap have not seen her and am sorry for that. Prayers be with you all and know you had a lovely Mother and I had a great neighbor for some time about 11 years.Oh and dont forget the time you helped me when I was stuck under the trailer LOL.
Sincerely,
Wendy Robbins and Family
