Please accept our deepest sympathies for the loss of Barbara. You may remember us in our relationship with Melba as being associated with Jehovah’s Witnesses.
I also was extended the privilege of officiating at Melba’s funeral. My wife and I remember how kind and friendly Barbara and Jack always were to us whenever we crossed paths with them in visiting Melba and Franklin.
There is much encouragement on our new unique web site JW.ORG regarding the well founded hope that the Bible holds out for our dead loved ones. There you will also find much information on many subjects as well as captivating videos for adults and children alike. Sincerely, John and Andrea

Craig, Steve, Sharon, and your families,
We are so sorry and saddened by the passing of your mom. I have so many fond memories of your Mom at your cottage on the Delaware and our visits there with my Uncle Jack and you all. Her warmth (I loved getting hugs from her), her sense of humor (I always looked forward to her comments in her cards at Christmas), and her sibling repartees with my Dad were always a joy to witness and be a part of. She was such a strong person, and dealt with life’s many struggles with a positive attitude and determination. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Ethan, Shelley, and Alexander Geehr
