Barbara L. Inouye

I will miss her always. I was sad to hear of her passing as late as I did.

Dear Barb's family,
I want to express my deep sympathy. Barb was a treasure - it was she who got me started substitute teaching at Lake Marion -- by asking me to sub for HER! Her gentle smile and tender ways will be missed by many. May God's grace be with you all as you mourn her loss, as you adjust to life, and as you honor her memory by living wholeheartedly. Judy

Family of Barbara Inouye,
We were saddened to hear of Barb's
passing. I (Snowell Nelson) grew up on the farm across Cedar Avenue from the Thomas farm. We want you to know our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time. We extend our sympathy.

Randy and family,
We are so sorry to hear of Barb's death. Our hearts go out to each of you. Barb and Ann first met at the College of St. Scholastica where they were both students over part of the same time period. She was a gem.

Randy, Patrick and Katie,
Barb will be missed by both the Thomas family and the Inouye family. Barb was my 2nd cousin, Judy (Bateman) Bleichner is my mother. I wish I could be there today for you in person but my thoughts are with you.

Randy and Family,
We are saddened to learn of Barb's passing. Just a few weeks ago we saw you both at the Dakota County Fair and vividly remember Barb's smile! You are in our thoughts and prayers. With Smpathy,

Dear Randy and families,

We are stunned. Typical of Barb, you and she were at our home bringing us a wonderful meal lovingly prepared by her just a couple days before her passing. She insisted that we pray for our husbands who supported us through our illnesses. Now, here we are...
I dreamt Sunday night that I saw her. She was totally serene, beautiful, at peace with a gentle smile. She had the same look as when she would pass out communion; she always made it such a holy...
