Today, it has been 1 year since we lost a beautiful person. I so hope that God has helped you to heal through this grief. Know that you are in my prayers and thoughts daily. I have missed Barb daily for the last year. Your daughters show so many of her qualities and they look so much like her. RIP Barb and keep watching over your family as I know you are.

Going on a year without Barb..Amazing how her passing changed my life so drastically! I went in and quit my job the following week. After working 45 years, it was actually easier then I could have imagined. Could hear her telling me, all you have is today, start living your life!
I now have a flower garden,(never grew a flower in my life) with a water-fountain, that she would be proud of.
I have Betty the bubble bee and gardina the snake that come visit, these things~I never noticed before, never took the time...
I also have my beautiful light dove, I know has Barb's spirit, comes and drinks out of the fountain, when I'm sitting only 2 feet from it, to remind me...this is what life is all about!
Thank you Barb, for showing me the way!
Love and Miss you,
Toni

I remember my sister-in-law Barbara for her beautiful way with nature. I was always impressed with her gardens and how beautiful her home was. She even came to mind last Sunday because I was cooking bacon that morning and using my bacon press that she found for me. Such a little thing but still a good memory that made me smile.

I would rather really live a life cut far too short, than to coast through never fully experiencing it. This is to always saying how you feel & what you think; of which I've learned from you. You embodied the saying 'Big things come in small packages'.

Hannah,
My heart breaks to read your pain. Your Mom taught you, above all else. "To Love Life and the people in it" She always had her priorities straight, there could be no better teacher of this... Remember her words of wisdom, at this time, and know she is still all around you...Love Toni

Barb was not only a friend, she was family. She welcomed me into Ron's family with open arms and never once looked back. I'll miss you Barb! Love you Bill & Hannah!

Barb became a friend of mine very quickly, and we stayed friends for at least 20 years. She was a very unique woman and she was always there for me. I could always count on her to shoot me straight. She helped me through some difficult times in my life and I thank her for that very much. Hannah and my daughter Rachelle grew up together and Barb was always there for Rachelle, too. She will be missed very much. She is loved by many and her memory will live on through Bill, Hannah, CJ and the girls. My love goes out to Bill, Hannah, CJ and the Girls.

Bill, Hannah, CJ and girls:
I can only say that I am so saddened by the loss of Barb. We have been best friends for over 25 years. We spent many hours together with the Girl Scouts and watching Hannah and Amy grow up together. Lots of laughs. I always knew if I needed something I could call on Barb. If I needed an answer, she had one for me. Now that she is in heaven, I know that she will still be there for me to give the straight answers that I need. I will miss her dearly. My heart goes out to you all.
Love , Nancy, Alan and Amy Sue
