I have been thinking about Barb a lot lately. I didn't realize it was two years ago she died. She was such a caring person. She loved her boys so much. I miss having hot fudge sundaes with her at King's Drive Up.

So sorry for your loss. The picture that is posted is exactly how I remember Barb in high school with that beautiful smile. She was so sweet and although quiet, very easy to talk to and be around. I hope you have special memories of her to see you through this difficult time.

Dear Shirley,
I'm sorry about Barb. I plan to mail you a nice poem I received when my father died; it really helped me. You and your grandsons and families will be in my prayers.

Dear Shirley, Alan, Mathew, and families,
I am so sorry to hear of Barb's passing. She loved you all so much. Even though she was always brave and determined about her health issues I am glad that she will suffer no longer. I am sure she, Kenny, her dad and grandparents are having a happy reunion. May God comfort you!

Barb and I went to KSC the same 2 years and became friends. Ran into each other over the years in GI when I returned. She was lovely, smart, brave about her health, and so fun. I am so sorry for your loss. I loved that photo of her. Sincerely Kathy (Nunnenkamp)Pieper
