Not sure what to say?

I sang in St Pat's choir with Barb. Always a smile on her face! Such a classy lady with a sweet soul! She held her own with all the male tenors! We all just loved her! So sorry I cannot be there to help sing her into heaven. Eternal rest to Barb Oh Lord...

Barb & Don always had smiles & a story when they came into the office to see ( or rather chat with ) Dan. Thoughts and prayers for your entire family. God has reached out his hand and called her home.

Diane&family,
Sending many condolances about the passing of your Mom.
Love, Marcia Chavez

Barb was my admin at IBM she was always supportive and approached everyday with a smile of light and treated everything with positivity. She was a delight to work with and even better to know. Small in stature HUGE in heart.

Barb was the very first person to welcome me to IBM in Cedar Rapids. Her radiant smile and positive energy made all the difference. She was so generous with her time, offering endless suggestions and guidance. We talked about our Philippine roots often. I will never forget her kindness. I will never forget how beautiful she was, inside and out. She was one in a million. It was a truly gift that we got to see her once more at the recent IBM reunion. Much love and deepest condolences to...

Barb was delightful to work with at IBM. She was instrumental to the Data Processing Division and all the sales and support staff. She delighted in her family and Don always supported her career. Condolences to her family members.
