To the family/friends of Barbara. She was a classmate of mine at West Meck. She was so friendly and a very dedicated person. She went through a lot with losing loved ones in the past and endured such. May GOD WRAP HIS MIGHTY ARMS AROUND EACH OF YOU TO GIVE YOU THE STRENGTH AND COURAGE TO GET THROUGH THIS SAD TIME. Barbara was a very popular classmate and had many friends. Until we all meet again, RIP, Barbara.

Dear family, our condolences are with you during this sad time. We were at West Meck with Barbara and were close friends with Bob and his family at Big Spring Church. We had the pleasure of talking with Barbara in more recent years and sharing life's experiences. We will miss her.

May you be comforted in the knowledge of having had such wonderful parents.
