Barbie,
You were the best sister ever you were always there even in the stupid times and I love you. You'll never be forgotten and I know I can still put everything secret with you. You are in better hands now and I can't wait to see you again .

It saddens me to see a friend from elementary school taken so young. It doesnt surprise me to see all of these people missing you because you were always such a sweet person. Sometimes we dont understand why god chooses who he does but I pray for your children to know that a mothers love will last forever & I know without a doubt that you will always be there watching them from above, until you meet again. Prayers for your family <3

Dear Vanover family,
It is such a shame to see someone you love go before you but it gives me comfort to know that she is not suffering and she is with the one who took our place on the cross. Praise the Lord that she is saved by the grace of God and in heaven with him. One day we will all see her again. we love you and wish everyone comfort and peace. love you all from the state of Missouri.

I worked with her in the past and she was always such a funny and upbeat person. She had an unbelievable amount of energy and spirit that was contagious. It made me very sad to hear of her passing today. RIP.......

We met in nursing school, and we spent alot of time in the back corner during class. I'm in shock to hear of her passing. Father, I have no idea why you chose to bring Barbie home at such a young age, but we ask that you help this family in coping with such a terrible loss. Give them strength, courage and keep their Faith strong. She is in a glourious place. There is no more pain, sorry or tears. I know her re-birth was an amazing event. God Bless her husband, children, family and friends. My deepest sympathy and my prayers are with you all.

Barbie I can not get this out of my head, I can not believe you are gone. I have great memories of us when we were little running up and down Sipple and 11th St. All the laughs we shared from elementary through high school. Even though I have didn't see you much in this last year or so this has hit me pretty hard you are one of my oldest friends. I will say a prayer for Greg and your little ones as well as your family and friends to get through this. I will miss you. I love you Barbie!

We never know what God has planned for us. Barbie's early passing is sad, but God must have had other plans for her. May he watch over Zander and Gracie and guide them in their lives. With much sorrow, Robin and Bill
