It is impossible to believe that it has been 10 years since you left us, Barb. The memories of our friendship are as bright as your smile. Your incredible energy still fills the gap created at your parting. I am so grateful for the years we worked and played, laughed and cried together. Know that you are always in my heart and your family are always in my prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all." Nona Grant Smith (Sugar Valley, GA)

We are so sorry to hear about Barb. She was my best friend in school and we lived across the street from each other. My early days are all good memories of Barb and being on Maple Manor. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Brian,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of deep sorrow. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you and your family to help you though this difficult time. We love you all!

Barb honored us with her life and love. She inspired me with her commitment to her family and to life; she fought her illness with tremendous bravery. She deserves the peace and happiness that I know she has found.
