Barb left a big void in the world. She was so much fun to be around. Always looking out for others. We certainly miss her at red hats. I still pray for her family daily. She definitely loved all of you. Strangers were just friends she hadnt met! God bless all of you.

It's a road we all must travel
Alone or with family & friends
Not a road we care to travel …
Afraid of what's ‘round the bend

The days that lay ahead will
Be filled with memories
You'll ask yourself a million times
What lies ahead for me?

When God calls home our loved ones,
We often ask Him why?
We say we needed “one more day”
As we sit alone and cry!

Just know her life came full circle,
Her time on earth was done.
God gave her a job to do,
Then said…
now your work is done.

Remember all the good times,
Her smiles and joyful tears…
They are the things that will help you…
As you pass on through the years.

This may seem like the end to you
but…
It's really something new.
She's waiting for you to join her,
In heaven …
with her angel crew!


Barb was a member of our Grand Blanc Red Hats. What a wonderful person lost too soon. My prayers go out to you at this sorrowful time, she will be missed by many.
