Not sure what to say?

My sincere condolences to the whole Anderson family. I'm sorry to have seen this too late to pay my respects in person. Growing up, Mrs. Anderson was a bright light wherever she went. I've always admired the spirit, positivity and bond that your family had Much love, comfort and strength to live life without her. Her persona loves on! Love, Mary Rademacher Reed

I remember Barb & Roger thru.my parents Walt & Jean Wysocki. The Andersons were outgoing & fun people when they got together with my parents. Lots of fond memories of all of them.

Hi Rodger, so sorry to hear the passing of you wife Barb. Your friends at Mapes Insurance.

Decades of friendship made many memories and many, many laughs. Barb had more fun and chuckles in one weekend than most people had in a year. You will be missed by so many but know you are already readying heaven for a big St Patrick´s Day celebration. Love ya Barb, The Bocians

Our sincere sympathy to the Anderson Family on the loss of Barb. The picture you posted sure reflects who she is! So fun and loving! I'll always remember her coming to our families weddings/celebrations and having so much fun with her on the dance floor. I sure hope she is dancing with my mom today celebrating what would be Sally's 89th birthday! Hugs, The Jewell Family

So many memories of Barb & her infectious laugh. Remember way back when softball games with her girls & of course, the after parties. She was a hoot & life of any party. She will be so missed by her family and her sweet husband. So so sad for her children but what a life she lived. Prayers to all her children & grands and all her many many friends. Thank you God for letting us have this special person for so long..

Wendy and I were saddened to hear of the passing of Barb. She was always fun-loving and friendly to us over the years at Holy Spirit. Know that the entire family is in our thoughts and prayers.

A truly great lady, whose passing will affect so many more than those 80 children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. There were many of us that were friends of her children who adopted her as our second mother, because of her warmth, TV room and kitchen. I am very thankful to her son Steve for bringing his friends into her world.

Liz, Steve, and Anderson Family: After spending some special time with your family years ago, I know what your Mom meant to all of you, and her presence will be deeply missed! May God reach out and you all feel his touch! Tom
