So sorry to hear about Barb’s passing. We first met in 6th grade and rapidly became best friends. We remained friends throughout high school, but sadly I lost track of her. Prayers and sympathy to her family.

Going to miss you so much. We had many good times, vacations, flea markets, looking for antiques, and going out to eat just visiting was special. R.I.P, Barb, will see you again.

John and family, We are so sorry to hear of Barb’s passing. Dan and I want to extend our deepest and most sincere sympathy to all of you. I worked with Barb at Pneumatics . She was such a pleasant person to be around. I never ever heard her say a bad word about anybody. She was such a soft spoken person who loved her family and friends. R.I.P. Barbie.
