It was a great honor to meet and know you. I know that my niece (Nicole) and nephew (Braden) loved you very much. As i followed your life through them, i learned you were a very strong woman. You fought a great battle, Barbara, and now you get to rest in peace with your husband.

So happy I had the opportunity to meet and know both Ronald and Barbara. I met them long ago as I’m a friend of Darin. I’m happy you’re no longer suffering and can be at peace with our Savior. God is great. Now you can shower blessings upon your family. Sorry for the Courter family and prayer for peace for all of you.
