My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I knew Barbara for only a short time but
she made a point of e-mailing jokes and
of course, when football season was about
to start, she would be ready to go.
She loved life, she loved her family and loved making friends. I will miss her e-mails at the beginning of football season
but I know she will have the best seat in
the house!

My thoughts and prayers are with her
family and friends. She is in a much
better place smiling down on us

Chuck, Mark and family, as I said in my card, Barbara made me laugh out loud no matter whether it was in person, by telephone and/or by email. I'll remember her for her kindness and sense of humor. Keith Johnson

To Charles and Mark I wish you peace, you did so much for her in these last few months for which I am sure she is eternally grateful. Now she is working for you and every one she knew on earth. She will be perched on your shoulders guiding us all through life. For Steve Fredrickson and family I know Barbara loved you she always talked about being happy when she would get time to spend with her grandkids. To Barbara's mother and step father I know she loved you as she also talked about you often.
I hope you will let me share a little of my personal time remembering for you the Barbara I knew. Barb invited us to a Panther- Buc game(which the bucs won)but, showed Barbara kindness is when we got home Barb had Mark build a fire for me. Of course I enjoyed it and it sent everyone else to the porch. That was the Barbara I knew. Barb when she visited had to have her chocolate just like me. If I was running low she would go to her suitcase and bring out some for both of us(needless to say I didnt run out often). Much to her chagrin Barb loved to shop I disliked shopping, so the good soul she was she would go by herself and always come back with stories of people she met.Barbara never met a stranger. I know Barb has front row seats for March madness she loved it. Of course she wanted North Carolina but she would watch any game.
I remember at a very young age when my brother passed away, my uncle said you know he is up in heaven watching and laughing because people were mourning yet he was in heaven. Heaven no more problems,no worries, just joy.
Barbara was a young soul much to young to leave us, but she has. She will be watching over all of us, sitting on a shoulder. What better person to entrust all of our lives with.
Mark and Charles I am sorry for your loss but she is with you now and forever. Rejoice with all the time the good Lord gave us and be happy for Barbara.
All my love to her entire family may you make it through this difficult time with loving memories.
Love
Sue Clark

To the entire family my thought and prayers are with you all..
I know this has been hard,but Barbara is happy,her savior did call.
I will remember her love of her family
friends and football.
When her PANTHERS played my BUCCANEERS
my number she would call.
I still have the red nightshirt she
bought me 2 years in a row.
Barbara never met a stranger,if you knew her,that you would know.
I celebrate her eternal Life that she
now will have in Heaven.
