To the family,
Barbara was a wonderful and dedicated volunteer, here, at Fallon Clinic. She will be fondly remembered and deeply missed. Everyone was always glad when she came in to help, as she was a hard worker and helped "get the job done". We are all sorry for your loss.

Bobby and family, Patie and I remember your mom and dad from the station, and Patie from HDH. She was a hard working lady that made sure that all you kids had a better life. May she gas her vehicle in heaven at my dad's gas station Eddies Getty! So sorry for your loss.
