Barbara Gaines

Albion - Barbara Jean Bruski Gaines, of the family of Gertrude and Stanley Bruski has had her address changed when she went home to be with the Lord, Jesus Christ.



Do not cry, Rejoice and be glad for this is the day the Lord has made. No more pain or suffering. Only Peace not as the world gives, but peace from God that goes beyond understanding.



Barb is the devoted wife of 37 years to Donald C. Gaines, Jr.; though they have been together for 40 years; beloved sister of Patricia Ingle; aunt to Ann Knaak and great-aunt of Kendall and Griffin Knaak.



She loved to be in church and to be active in the Crossroads program where prisoners are encouraged to participate in a bible study program. Letters are sent all over the country to those who participate in the C.B.I. publishing center program.



Don would like to express his gratitude to all who prayed and sent gifts and cards and all of the people at the hospitals of Strong West and Unity Hospital at the emergency department, the Intensive Care Unit, the oncology department and staff and everyone else that makes up the teams of workers that do such a wonderful job to ease our pain and the suffering of losing a loved one. To our primary care physician and especially my family, friends and church family; your support is greatly needed and appreciated. THANK YOU ALL!



Friends may call on Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church, 8221 Lewiston Road, Batavia, where services will follow at 1 p.m. Burial will be in St. Joseph's Cemetery, Albion.
