Dear family of Barbara,

It isn't the same here without seeing Barbara in our condo hallways. She always had a smile and especially enjoyed seeing the babies and children.

May she rest in peace with the Lord.

Love and Prayers,

Auntie showed us her spunkiness to the very end, she knew what she wanted and didnt want. Her joy in seeing a child brought a smile to her face every time, especially with little Paul. She will be deeply missed at our family dinners and our conversations we had of her life. A special thanks to my sister and daughter who had the patience and strength to take this journey with her.
Rest In Peace Aunt Barbara
