Not sure what to say?

Barb was my neighbor. The first time I ever saw Barb, I was stuck in my driveway in the snow. She helped me out and with out time to thank her, she was gone. That was 30 years ago. It wasn't until later that I knew who had come to my rescue. We lived two doors down from each other, until they had a new house built. Our kids were friends. I was very saddened to just realize of her passing. I feel such a loss for this wonderful women. I know she has a special place in Heaven.

Once there were four. "The three B's and the lonely T. Barb, Bob, Bev and Tom. It was a nice identity - the four of us. Barb was our leader. She is the one who could get things done, and you knew you could always count on her. She was the family photographer and historian. It was Barb, along with her family who kept Skaneateles and Rockport alive and well. Her dedication and selfless hours spent for family and friends were definitely an inspiration and much appreciated. I will miss...

The entire McMorris family is very dear to me and I treasure all the moments our families shared together. I especially remember "Aunt Barb" as being such a quiet, calm, and kind presence with a smile that brightened up the room. I am so grateful I was able to reconnect with her shortly before her passing. She will be greatly missed. Much love to you all.

May God bless all of you and i pray that you find peace A CO-WORKER Joan Boston

Dear McMorris Family:
I would like to share my observations of a most loving woman at work. As you probably know, Barb "helped" me perform the duties of a Dentist in the Nursing Home Environment This exposed me to a number of residents at their most stressed or their "worst".

Barb always took the time to sooth and "understand" the feelings or needs of these "stressed" residents. It never failed to impress me as to her ability to give of herself in this responsibility. ...

Barb & Dick served with me in the Hospitality ministries of EHBC. They were the kind of behind the scenes helpers that never get the spotlight or applause. Even at times when I hadn't asked for help, Barb had a knack for knowing when I was in over my head and would show up, with Dick, like the cavalry coming over the hill in an old Western to save the day. She continued helping long after it had become difficult for her and never, ever complained. Instead, her concern was always for how I...

Barb had so many great characteristics. I just want to mention two. She was an incredible servant to others at EHBC. In very real and time consuming ways she would give of herself (and Dick) to serve. She did so without complaint or drawing attention to herself. Second, she had a deep desire for a more intimate relationship with Christ. When something in the sermon resonated with this desire, she would often affirm to me, her desire. I know that this is what sustained her during her...

My grandma was very special to me, and she will always be in my heart. I will never forget all the great things she taught me, and I will cherish the memories I have of her. I love you Grandma, and I miss you.

Dear McMorris Family;
Barbara was a great friend and co-worker. She was bright, motivated and most ambitious. Finding an answer to a problem was always a challenge for her.
Barbara was respected and looked up to by all the staff. Her caring personality made her a favorite with staff and residents. Barbara was a driving force behind the excellent care given to the Residents at Stonehedge Nursing Home.
Her positive attitude was felt by all who knew her.
God Bless you...
