Not sure what to say?

I went to high school with Barb and remember many fun times with her. Last time I saw her was at our friend Amy's funeral services. She never changed - always smiling, and had that great sense of humor. I don't think I ever heard her say anything negative about anyone. I'm sure she left a lifetime of love behind for her family and I hope her girls grow up knowing what a really good person their mom was. She will be missed!

There are no words big enough to describe the beauty and love of Barb. Barb's family was first on her list, she created a home and garden filled with kindness, and a passion for what's important in life...family and friends.

Dear Matt, Georgia and Madge,
We are so sorry your beloved wife and mother had to leave you. We've known Barbara most of her life and knew her as a pretty, sweet, faithful and helpful girl and young lady. She was one of Amy's closest friends. They had a wonderful year together sharing an apartment in Ann Arbor while Barb was finishing college and Amy had graduated and was selling childrens' shoes at Jacobsons.
Love,
Muriel and Bill Newman

Dear Matt, Georgia, Madge, and the entire Austin Family,

I want to share in your heavy hearts and help in any way I can, to help get through this time of sadness. I would like to share some thoughts with you.
I remember as if it were yesterday when I met Barb. I just started dating her sister Patricia and barb was so accepting and supportive of me and my relationship with her sister. She always had a positive comment for me and shared her beautiful smile and laugh (she had...

Barb, to me was a very bright light. I will always remember her beautiful smile and laughing eyes. My deepest sympathy to all of her loving family. I share your sorrow and wish I could be with you.

To the Bolek & Austin family- You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Barb was one of my dearest friends since we met in Kindegarten. I will miss her sooo much! I have so many fond childhood memories of Barb, Amy & I. The three of us would do everything together! It is comforting to know that she has our friend Amy with her up in heaven. I will make sure to share these memories with Georgia & Madeline.

Matt, Georgia & Madeline- I am so sorry for what you...

I will fondly remember Barb as a devoted mom and a genuine friend. She often took me by surprise when she doled out the kindest compliments, and many "I love you's." I'm better for having known her.

I hope that you find comfort in family members and the countless people in this community who pray for you and wish you peace.
