She was a great lady and will be missed very much 🙁 She is with grandpa now I’m glad they are back together again. I miss them both very much.
Barb was one of my many first cousins. I use to babysit the kids. She was a sweet person.
My condolences to the children, grand-children, brother and sisters.
I just saw the obituary today. Sorry I was not able to come to the services.
So sorry for your loss. She was a truly amazing, gifted loving woman.
Although my heart is broken, my spirit is rejoicing for Aunt Barb who has gone on to meet the Lord. Aunt Barb was my Godmother. She was always there for my Mother and me from the day I was born. No one has ever had to tell me about my GodMother…that she was kind, beautiful, or selfless…for I always knew in my heart she was an angel. No matter how much time passed in between our visits, it was always so easy and fun to be with her. I wish so much that I could be there today to offer my support to her beautiful family, but please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you today, tomorrow, and always! Thank God for Aunt Barb, she was a shining light in this world and we are all better people for having known her love! I love you all!

I knew Barb from when she worked with my Mom Connie at Long Term Care and she was a very sweet lady. My Mom talked a lot of her and had so many great things to say about her, husband, kids, grandkids. She watched myself and my brother grow up and always cherish the memories i have of her. I pray for her friends and family during this difficult time..Rest in Peace Barb..
