We first met Barb 15 years ago when my son (then age 12) was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Barb led us through a very difficult journey. She was always available to us and even gave us her home phone number. Unfortunately our son had a second reoccurrence. Again Barb was there for us. She would call me at home at night to chat and offer support. We began to think of Barb and Dr. B as old friends. I dont know how we would have got through these times without Barb. I would say to her- Barb.. you can never retire. We are so saddened to hear of her passing. Did she know what she meant to so many people? I think of a poem when I think of Barb. Friends for a Season.. Rest In Peace Barb... you will be missed.

Our son was a patient of Barbs. He is very small for his age and Barb always made him feel like a big man. She helped with his confidence. Barb meant a lot to us because of her kindness. She will be missed.
