It was with great sadness we read of Barb's passing. We used to look forward to our appointments with her at Dr. Kennedy's office so we could catch up. She was such a vibrant person and remarkable artist--always embarking on new and exciting adventures.

She will will be missed and remembered by so many.

Barb was my dental hygienist at Dr. Kennedy's for years. I always enjoyed her so, and we had many a meaningful conversation and good laughs over those years. She was a wonderful person who really embraced her life. I loved her woodwork pieces at the office and in pictures of them that I saw. The people Barb helped and touched were enriched by her presence and gifts.
