    To the Dougherty family
    I was saddened to hear of your mother’s passing I remember her fondly as she came to my classes over the years at Usbourne school to teach the children good dental care. The children always looked forward to her arrival as did I. She brightened our day with her happy disposition. I know you will have many happy memories of her also which will bring you happiness.

    One of the hardest things in life is when you lose your mom. Barb always welcomed everyone into her home with a smile or when she saw you, she showed so much joy and delight. I loved your mom like she was my own.
    Nails, hair and bright lipstick on everyday, she inspires me to be just like her.
    I will miss her terribly and I’m so blessed I went to see her a couple of times while in hospital.
    Such a loss to everyone. I’m so sorry.
