My cousin Barbara was such an inspiration and role model for me throughout my life. When I was young, and even though we lived across the country from each other, she always made sure I felt a part of the Furman family. When I had my own children she enveloped them in love and made them feel so special. She was so thoughtful and always put others first. Though she suffered with pain every day, she never complained and always had a beautiful smile on her face. I will miss our long texts and the wonderful times we got to see each other in person. Joel, thank you for taking such good care of her. Jen, Dave, Greyson, and Ava, she loved you beyond measure. What a blessing to have had such an amazing mother and grandmother. Barb, I know you are with Uncle Stan and Aunt Arlene, dancing and singing with them. Until we meet again, my dear cousin.
All my love,
Angela Furman Perez
