I got to know and love Barb and enjoyed her spirit and zest for dancing; she is a beautiful soul and will be missed greatly.

Barbara was a beautiful lady. I had the opportunity to bring Holy Communion to her. She loved our Lord. It was obvious with her smile. May she rest in his loving arms.

Loved Barb forever. She was my Conformation Sponsor and I took her middle name as my conformation name. I got to babysit for Maureen and Tommy. Your mom was a beautiful woman inside and out. Sorry we are stuck out in AZ and can't attend her services. Our love and prayers to all of her children. Kathleen (Ellement) and Kenny Dunn
