Not sure what to say?

I always enjoyed going to The Net Set and talking with Barbara. She was such a dear lady and will be missed by everyone who knew her. In these days of online buying, it was great to have a personal connection.

Barbara impacted my life. Her kindness and support were notable. I will always cherish the memories of her cheering me on at the tennis tournaments and welcoming me with a huge smile at The Net Set. She had such a way about her---always making me feel valued and special. I feel blessed to have known her. Love to the Kester family.

We have many fond memories of Barbara, I'll share a couple: I went in to the Net Set to buy a new tennis racket. Barbara looked at my racket and told me several things I could do to improve my old racket. Karen said "Mom we are in the business of selling tennis rackets". Another is the World Team Tennis trips to Las Vegas and watching Barbara at the slot machines. She was a wonderful and caring person. Her love and charm will be greatly missed. We send our love to Bob, Karen, Ken and Norm.

Barb was a Tennis treasure and a truly one of a kind wonderful human being and teammate. It was an honor to have known and traveled with her and Bob. She will be greatly missed by all. Thanks Barb for making this world a better plance

With love we are thinking about the Kester family at this time. So grateful to have Ken as our brother in law and all the fun family memories we have. We know Barbara was a special Mother and made an impact in so many lives. We are here for you.

Barbara was a remarkable and a very loving woman. I will never forget how she shared her childhood box with me, she took out every item and talked about it even though it wasn't easy. I also loved that I spent my first thanksgiving at her house and to this day it is still my favorite one. Her memory will live on as she is very loved by her family and friends. I loved Barbara as my own grandma and I will miss her.

Dear Ken and Arla and kids, we are very sorry for the loss of your lovely mother and grandmother. Our hearts and love are with your family. Sending hugs from the other side of your family. Luv you all, Tiff and Jamie
