I thought of Barb this morning and when I went into my email, this memorium of Barb was there. She was a special friend and I miss that. She loved going to Perkins to have breakfast food for lunch. We had so many wonderful talks and laughs.

I just saw this message of Barb's passing. As a young guy just out of college three young engineers started at Johnson Service Co in 1973. Barb was nothing but a peach to us and helped us grow in our position. I'll see you in heaven Barb!

She would always bring me a treat, whether she baked something or would stop and get me a loaf of Italian bread and some times a few pieces of bakery. She was a very generous and caring person. Barb was easy to talk to, loyal and not judgmental. People...
