    The Schmidt Family,

    On behalf of all those who worked with your mother over the past six years, we have each been blessed and touched by knowing your mother. She was a strong yet gentle woman and while never short on her opinions she was also quick with her wit and her laughter. I remember her telling me once she “didn’t care nothing about them cell phones, texting or email; if my kids or grandkids want to tell me something they just need to pick up the phone and call me.” She loved her sports especially her Notre Dame football and Cleveland Indians baseball. She was a woman of faith and loved her Tuesday trips out with her friends but yet she was the first to say when it was time to stop because it was too hard on her friends to help her get around. When we trained new CAREGivers we used Barb in so many examples and stories and everyone wanted to meet her. My trips to Fremont will not be the same with out opportunities to bring Barb a little treat she would tuck away to eat over the course of a week.

    May God Bless her with eternal life and hold her family in the palm of his hand as they celebrate her life and grieve her passing.

    So wish I was with you all today. It’s hard being so far reminiscing on all the treasured memories from years past. Know that I love each of you and will keep you all in my prayers in the days ahead as you begin to navigate days without your Mom. The video is beautiful and while the tears pour out, how lovely to see the beautiful life and legacy. Ours sincerest condolences.

    With all the kids in the neighbor hood, your mom didn’t care if a
    few more would show up. She was a pleasure to know.
