They say grandma loved Halloween costumes. I think she got a kick out of this one.
A special memory that I have is when Cleo came to Montrose Colorado for my 25th anniversary of priesthood. She wore a large hat and looked very classy and was so happy . On her funeral day I will have mass at the hospital in Pueblo where I will be working Keep her spirit of joy alive!!!!! May God comfort your hearts
My Grandma Barnhart was always a Sassy woman. I remember I went to go see her and the nurse at the nursing home wanted to check her vitals and asked for one of her fingers to check her vitals. Well my grandma didn't understand what she wanted and I told her to give the nurse a finger. Well my grandma did just that! She gave her the finger! The nurse and I busted out laughing. I won't be able to be at the funeral due to being in Nursing School but I will be there in spirit. A bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck..I'll love you forever Grandma.
So sorry for your loss. Thinking of all of you.
My memories of Cleo, and of Ray are to numerous and fond to single out any one. The cookouts, the camping, fishing trips, the gatherings of our families together, love abounded, She will always hold a special place in my heart.
I will always remember Cleo as my second mother spend lots of time at her house while growing up. Mary and I was always together as were Norma and my sister .She was always a caring person
My heart goes out to the family ,she will be missed by many
Sending prayers for comfort to all the family
Love you all
Ann & Larry Alexander
