Barb and I were friends for years in the 70s. We had so much fun, partying and having a good time. I miss her very much. She had the best smile. I think of her often and wish she had lived longer. Love, Shirley Jacobs

Memories of my childhood growing up with Barbara keep playing through my mind. Like Karen, Barb and I were good friends throughout our childhood and into adulthood. We lost track when Barb and John moved to St. Louis, but I would often think of her and wanted to reconnect. I'm so sorry that never happened.
My favorite memories include those infamous backyard camp outs, and the 'French pancakes' Mrs. Kyle would make for breakfast. Going to Carnations for sundaes on a summer evening,...

Oh, Barbara, you were such a beautiful young woman. I give you and your family prayers. Someday we'll meet again....Suan Weetman Belair CHS'68

I met Barb during the early 1980's and the chemistry was perfect. Monique was so exceptional that I was able to partially overcome my allergy to children so I could be with Barb.

Barbara and I were close friends in elementary thu High School. I'll never forget the slumber parties we had at her parents house. We were all sleeping in a tent when we had to go to the bathroom. So we thought we were being sneaky and doing it outside next to the tent. The next morning when we woke up the grass was dead. Her dad was not very happy with us. But what a good memory. I was so glad she and Carol were a part of my life.

Barbara,
You are in our thoughts and prayers as you mourn the loss of your dear mother.

Monique, I know that you don't know me, but I worked with your Mother at Germania. My husband and I had many wonderful visits with your parents. A few years ago, she was in our area for New Year's Eve and looked us up. She celebrated with our friends and family. She bought new red boots and danced all night long. We are so sorry to hear about her passing. Kathy and Harry Mason

So sorry to read of Barbara's passing. My wife Debbie Saunders( Brackmann) was best of friends all during high School with Barb & Carol. Over the years we lost contact with Barb, but here name would come up in other classmates conversations.
