I played Bridge with Barb and loved her spirit and determination. I had been wondering about her and am so happy that she got to stay in her home. The 2 pictures were beautiful. Thanks for sharing them. Peggy Rice

My husband, Tim, and I are friends of Kirk and Patty´s. We send our deepest love and condolences to the entire Maes family.

Hi, I wanted to express my condolences for your loss. Barbara and Reed were so important in my parents lives, Ole and Jean Riseng. My mom, dad, and I even lived in the upstairs part of the Ypsi house for a bit during graduate school for Ole and Reed. And I spent three wonderful years working with Reed at the solar greenhouse and Barbara was a big part of that as well. They both were such wonderful people and I have very fond memories and are grateful to have known them.

I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to care for Barb. She held a special place in my heart, and I will always cherish the memories we shared. Every time I eat a dove, I´ll think of Barbara!
