I am saddened to hear about my Grandma passing. I will always remember her funny stories and jokes that seemed endless. She loved her family to the end and would fight to protect us all. I am proud to be one of the many that can call her Grandma Babe. It always amazed me that she could even remember all of us by name, much less bestow love upon us. I feel truly blessed to have known you Grandma and be a part of your life. I Love You! Now get up and dance with Grandpa Herb and Pop, they have been waiting.
For Baby Lou’s family and especially her children. I am so sorry for your loss. I don’t know if Babe (I called her Baby Lou) did this with any other kids, but we had a game – my brother and I would see her and as we were leaving she would touch us and say “touched you last”. Well, she won the game in the end – she touched our hearts last. You are loved and will be missed. My prayers go with you all. Love – Jackie
Babe was a awesome person, never met a stranger. I loved to bowl with her she will be missed.

I will always treasure the memories of Aunt Babe. Hanging out in her back yard in our hide out and she would always be willing to go to the ends for anyone of her family. She was a beautiful ole soul that blessed many while on this earth. She will be telling her jokes for eternity and now she has a whole new crowd that will enjoy them! We miss you Aunt Babe.
When I think of Aunt Babe, it’s like she’s right here with me. She’ll never be gone because she’s always in my heart and mind. I can hear her now telling a joke. She’s so fun loving and wonderful to be around! She lives on — all around us because I can’t say goodbye to my Aunt Babe or my Aunt Sue. You know– I think they’re laughing at me right now! Please know, my prayers are with you always.
