Dear Hamaker family,
Recently was informed that Barb had passed away. Please accept our sympathy.
I have so many memories from years ago in Clarkston of summers in your pool, working on Jr Miss and playing bridge with your mom.
Thinking of your entire family.

Dear Hamaker family:
Barb was a good "mom" to the Hunter family in Florida, asking us how we were doing and keeping us in her thoughts. We will miss her care and friendship. Love and prayers that you will grow closer during this time and be comfort for each other.

Kim, Kevin and Kory, we are so saddened to hear about the loss of your mom. My mother was devastated to hear this. They were such good friends for so long. She will be greatly missed by many.
Unfortunately, Wendy and I are out of the state and unable to come to the service. But know our hearts go out to your family.
With deepest sympathy,
Wendy Ripley and Karla (Ripley) Sheppard
