If you watch on YouTube — click here — there are chapter headings in the notes under the video.

The video is 720p resolution, so if your player is set at a lower resolution, you can adjust in the video settings button on the lower right corner.

We are so moved by the stories shared about our beloved mother, Lillian Barden, that we hope her memorial is not a reason for sadness, but a source of encouragement, strength and gratitude.

Our mother was blessed in her friendships, partnerships and community.

Given how her life started, it is an amazing miracle that she created a whole new one, full of blessings and lessons and love.

Hello! It’s been more than a year since your mother passed, so I don’t know if you’ll see this, but I would love to hear from any of you if you do. Thank you for including my mother‘s name (Beverly) in the mention of your mother‘s close friends. I had several chats with your mother during and after the time of my own mother‘s death several years ago. This has been a very busy year and I was just sitting down looking through the contacts in my phone and I realized I hadn’t talked to your mother in some time and thought I would give her a call. When the phone didn’t even have a ringtone, I searched online to find out if she had passed away. That’s how I arrived at this page. Please accept my deep condolences. I know how special Lillian and Beverly were to each other and I’m so grateful for the collection of letters that they both kept through the years.
