Lisa and Rita, I feel that I spent several years “growing up” on Santa Claus Mountain Road in Cedartown and am so sorry to hear about your mother passing. She was truly the complete embodiment of a strong woman and I really admired her through the high and low points that your family went through. Lisa, when we were back in high school I remember that your mom was the glue that held everything together in your life and I know she was ultimately the person who gave you the spark to your dreams and became an inspiration for all you have done. My heart is with you as you go through these days. I hope that a healing peace will be upon you and the wonderful memories of your mom will live on in you, in Rita, and in those like me whose lives intersected hers if only for the briefest moment in time. All my love, Ryan
Lisa, I’m so sorry that you’re going through this. Please know that I’m thinking about you and that you have my love and friendship always. –matt
Barbara and I never met in person, but I know her through Lisa. Barbara and I did talk on the phone and wrote notes. And I depended on Uncle Charles to deliver my notes to her. We also “talked” to each other through Lisa. Once when Lisa and Robert were visiting me in California, Barbara and I talked on the phone. When she said her back was troubling her, I told her about how my dad dealt with his injured and aching back by sleeping on the floor. The next time we talked, I asked Barbara how her back was doing. She politely chuckled and said she tried sleeping on the floor and that it went well. However, she explained she had difficulty getting up off the floor. What a sense of humor she had. –She sent me two cherished gifts–1) a set of pillow cases she hand embroidered with lovely flowers and 2) an angel’s feather with these words: ” A feather fell upon my path, I picked it up with care; A voice whispered as I knelt with words I want to share: ‘You always show such thoughtfulness, the little things you do, can make a cloudy day turn bright, and all because of you. Your thoughtfulness is seen on high, the many lives you touch; this feather is His thanks to you, because you do so much.’ ” I thank you, Barbara, for all the things you have done — especially for giving us angel Lisa. Your spirit and love live on. I will miss you.
Lisa, Uncle Charles, Rita, Our thoughts and prayers go out to you. Please know we are thinking of you and your Mother/sister. Respectfully, Philip Maher, Barry Maher, Louise Maher

Dear Rita, Lisa and Charles, First of all to you girls, your mom was always wonderful to me. The second time I met her she told me ( I love you and you are my extra daughter). Since I lost my mom at sixteen it was so nice to hear those words from a mother figure. She didnt even have my name straight and I didnt care. She loved me. Awesome feeling. She always told me stories about the two of you and the love she felt for yall was evident. Charles, your name was always coming from her lips. Usually concerning one of your practical jokes. Her eyes would light up like a teenager when she told of your many pranks. She was the best adopted mom I could have asked for and when I spent tuesday evening with her, she told me several times " I want to go home". We can rejoice in the fact that she got her wish.
