I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your loved one. When someone we love dies, it’s natural to want to see that person again. God promises us that He will comfort us in our trials if we go to him in prayer. 2 Corinthians 1:3 calls him the God of all comfort. I’d like to share with y’all this link that shows 12 steps on coping with grief. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=102018086&srcid=share
Prayers and deep sympathy to all the family. Barb had a terrific personality and always made
you laugh, and was a great neighbor. I’m sure she will be dearly missed.
Loved talking gardening with her and the going to the greenhouses with her for the “classes” we would take. Love you bunches Aunt Barb and will miss you but you have your wings now and no more pain. sending prayers for the rest of the family in this time of need.
Aunt Barb…. you will be dearly missed by the many people whose lives you touched and those who had the honor of knowing you. May you rest in peace.
I want to offer my condolences to the Zagula family. I knew Barb and Ed for many years since I lived on Braxton Rd. She was a very nice person and I know the family will miss her. She is in my prayers
