My warmest and most sincere condolences to Bonnie, Dusty, Renee, Michael, and entire family. When I first heard of Barbs passing it seemed impossible to me. I had not spoken to Barbi for quite some time which was my fault. I realized how much of a mistake it was when this fog of memories rolled over me. I am still remembering more a week later. There were so many overwhelming ones and a couple of bad ones.
The ones we loved about her the most are the ones we will remember. I am sure we were each others first loves, we sure said it enough times.
I would like take this moment to thank Bonnie for letting me love her beautiful daughter and for her graciousness in accepting me into their family. Thank You! Our love was strong and full speed but we were very young and immature. After a few years our relationship ended and we remained friends.
It was a huge honor for me that Barbara had given her son the same name as mine and for naming me his godfather. I hope he will let me continue if he wants. I would still be very glad to do that.
I would like to close with a few small memories that made us smile.
Rocking out to AC/DC. Watching her dance really really good to a song by Mitch Ryder called Devil in a Blue Dress. lol!
Barbara was a big Betty Boop fan and would sometimes imitate her by giving me a "Boop-oop-a-Doop". There are so many more that I will remember forever.
Barbi did life her way and made so many people smile.
Please be happy for her Strong and Beautiful Spirit. I will.
I will always remember "My Cutie"
