I was a friend of Barbara in middle school and have many fond memories of her mom. They were such a wonderful and loving family. I am sure they will miss their mom terribly.

I met Joan in 7th grade and we became good friends. She was always very sweet and lots of fun. I saw her about 5 years ago at a dinner party of one of our Jr HS friends and she was content, happy and the same special person Even though we haven't been in touch, she will always be remembered as a special person. God Bless to all her family. Beverly Oetjen Imgrund
