I was saddened to hear of Barb's passing. It was so sudden. I remember her smile, and how she lit up the room when we used to visit her parents home for family gatherings. My thoughts are with you all at this sad time.

From my family, to yours, please accept my deepest sympathy on Barb's passing. Our families were intertwined by the marriage of her sister, Beth and my brother, Jim. For awhile, we felt like sisters. I have some great memories of our youth. I will remember her beautiful smile, her incredible sewing talent, and to this day always think of her when I smell Noxema cream. I will miss her.
