Barbara Ponstein

On the 4th of July, I witnessed a sky spectacle unlike anything I'd seen before. I hadn't planned on watching fireworks or anything. But it was so amazing that I had to stop the car, get out and marvel. It wasn't just the fireworks, something special about the night sky with the slight waxing crescent moon and the birds flying around it. Magical, I thought, what a show! And then I got the news about aunt Barb. How appropriate. Barb will always be our Shining Star.

When I think of...

Tim and family:
Went to grade school and high school with Barb , she was always thinking of others. You are in our thoughts and prayers!
Blessings!

Ken & Faith, My deepest sympathies to you in the passing of your dear sister. It is hard to lose a sibling. I just experienced this with the passing of Clare's younger brother, Bob Doornbos, in March. He also attended Beaverdam church so I'm sure Bob & Barb knew each other well.

Tim and family,
We are so very sorry for your loss. You have been so loving and kind to Barb. It was so much fun seeing you at Unity games. As you know we are having similar experiences now. May God wrap his arms of love around you and give you his comfort and peace.

I also worked at Haven Park and knew her. I worked in the Alzheimer's Unit for a lot of years. I also went to Unity Christian High School. I used my foster name at that time. M Corey Furbish

Barb was our neighbor on Nelson St. the year our youngest child was born. I remember her coming in to see me late on that Friday the 13th of Novemer 1970 when she got off duty before she went home. And we were invited to her and Tim's wedding. My sympathy to her loved ones.
