Condolence: Dear Hambach Family: Please accept my deepest sympathy for the family and friends of Barbara. We will never get used to losing our loved ones in death because as Ecclesiastes 3:11 says, we were created with everlasting life in view. But may you find comfort in knowing that Almighty God has promised that soon he will swallow up death forever along with the pain that it brings. (Isaiah 25:8) God has also promised that he will return "Apple Blossom" to you as it says at John 5:28,29 and also Psalms 37:29. You can also learn more about what happens when a loved one dies at JW.org. Sincerely, Susan

Condolence: Dearest Barbara I remember the first time I met you. My family had travelled from Montana to celebrate Jim's graduation from Dartmouth. I was amazed at your homestead & to learn that cigar tobacco was grown there & dried in the tobacco barn. You & my dad Tony were both pranksters & it was delightful to watch your interactions. Years later I was given a copy of your book "Worthy Words," & was impressed at your advice. There will never be another like you, thank God. Rest in peace, but I doubt you can, not with your active mind.

Condolence: Jan, We wish you and your family an abundance of God’s peace, love and wisdom as you grief your mother’s death and celebrate her life. We love you and Floyd very much. Love, Elizabeth and Ron

Condolence: Appleblossom, Mrs. Hambach, Barbara, All of us in the Keena family love you. We grew up sharing our Thanksgiving table with your family, sharing our childhood with your youngest daughter, Roberta. Your husband allowed our dad to hunt on his farm land. Our childhood summers were spent sharing Fourth of July picnics.The many whimsical,loving touches you so generously created for all of us are treasures. Thanks to you for delivering a homemade birthday cake to me every year, and the many crystal beads you designed for me. I also thank you for your support of The Veterans Memorial Theatre, where I served as Artistic Director. Your devotion to veterans was deep. You always made our lives better and brighter. Thank you for a beautifully lived life! Kathy Keena

Condolence: I am very sorry for your loss of your good mother, Barbara. My father, Edmund Draus, asked that I send regards and sympathy and, also, to let you know I was very grateful for your mother's companionship with my father for all the 28 years they knew each other. He loved her very much. Again, with sadness for your loss, Dallas
