Not sure what to say?

Barb came to my place to pick up her red geraniums every year for many years beginning when they lived in their Dunthorpe home and continuing when they moved to John's Landing. She would sometimes look at other colors but go back to the red because Bill liked them. I always enjoyed our chats. I will miss her, but think of her as the geraniums begin to blossom.

Barb, you touched my heart the very first day I met you. I am so blessed to have known you. I always looked forward to the days I got to come and be with you. It was a privilege to be called one of your girls. You were taken way to soon, but I know that I will see you again. I miss you! Tammy

Great lady and a great friend.

Wonderful memories from University of Oregon days... she was always upbeat, loved to dance and never said an unkind word about any person or issue.

Oh our friend Bill. So sorry to hear of Barbs passing. We have many wonderful memories of her. May she enjoy a B52 Bomber and know we loved her and we love you. Alan and Patti

Amie and girls- What a beautiful tribute to your mom and Baba. Her bright light shines in all of you. Wishing you comfort and peace. The Nantz Family

I send my condolences to Bill and Barbi Sue's family upon her recent passing due to ovarian cancer. Barbi Sue was the epitome of vivacity as a U of O cheerleader and a friend to all that knew her. Her spirit lives on in my memories.

Bill, I remember in high school what a sweet couple you were. Being partners for so many years is a testament of your love. Our hearts go out to you, Floyd & Lynda

I was privileged to teach Suzy, Amie, and Lindsey. Through them I knew Barb to be one of those teachers/parents I admired. Always positive and firm but fair. Her light brightened life for all of us. It will continue to shine as an example of a true treasure of a person. My condolences to Bill, the girls, and the grandchildren lucky enough to have shared life with her.
