I’m so sorry to hear of Barb’s passing. I enjoyed working with her at Pipp and learned a lot listening to her and Sally. They were a hoot together! Later years we met occasionally for dinner or a movie. She was a wonderful person who’ll be greatly missed. My prayers are with you all.

We lost an Angel on earth. Barbara was a witness to us all. Her kind, loving and caring spirit was a blessing to all and especially those of us on the mission team at church who were able to watch her in action. We all have missed her over the last several months but know she is now at peace and with Bill. May God give all of her family peace and joy in her wonderful memory. In Christ’s love, Lorna& Craig
