I have such a place in my heart for Barbara. Lots of memories mostly as a young girl when we all lived in the same neighborhood. She treated me like a daughter and took me everywhere with her and her kids. I babysat for the 3 boys at the time, Jimmy, Johnny and Danny. Barb was also a best friend to my Mom. She also was my sponsor for my Confirmation. I always called her my......SECOND MOTHER...!
I LOVED HER LIKE A "FIRST MOTHER". RIP beautiful Barbara ♥ Love Sharon Fraulo Homick

Auntie Barbara, my Godmother. The lifetime of memories I have with you will never fade. You were always there when I needed advice- especially after my mom was gone. You didn't always tell me what I wanted to hear! But your advice was always truthful and came from your heart. I will miss our conversations. Play some setback with all our family- but remember not to let Pop-Pop keep score! You know what I mean! Love you forever. May you rest in peace.
