I met Barb many years ago when her son Josh and my son Todd attended school together she was a very sweat and kind hearted women. She is now at peace with all the angels. God rest her soul. Love The Shelton Family.

Dear Bill & Family,
I just wanted to express my sympathy & condolences to you & your family. I had such a great respect for Barb working with her in your business. She never complained, was always optimistic and in a good mood even when she was ill. It was an honor and privilege to have known such a strong caring person.

Dear Bill & family
So many times I've thought of Barb and felt blessed to have known her and called her friend. Even though I left the area some 32 years ago every time we connected it was like we never lost touch.
Our Faith knows she is at peace while our hearts ache and feel empty. Today it may seem impossible, but remembering while we can no longer physically see Barb, sharing our most cherished memories will keep her close to our hearts offering comfort and eventually bring a smile of love.
In my thoughts and prayers, Virginia Giles-Minter
