Not sure what to say?

I met Barb a couple of years ago at our chiropractor´s office! It was a joy to sit and talk with her! We did lunch a couple of times and she shared her story and listened to mine. I will miss her. Such a sweet lady

We lived next to Barb and Paul for 20+ years on Park Ave in Parchment. They were great neighbors and wonderful people. Barb was always very kind and considerate to us and our daughters. A wonderful woman and a great neighbor. We have since moved from Parchment but it saddens us to hear of her passing. We wish all her relatives and loved ones the best in this sad time. Respectfully, Kirk and Michelle

I only knew Barb for a few short years after she came to Central but it was always a delight spend time with her at coffee time after playing a service. She loved music and always had stories to tell about growing up and her family. I only wish I had more time with her before she was unable to continue attending church. It was an honor to be able to play for her once more.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I had Mrs Van for 1 of my teachers I really enjoyed her classes Thank You for everything

Mrs. Van was a gift to everyone who had her as a teacher. I loved seeing her later in life and reminiscing about those years. She was loved by so many. Rest in peace Mrs. Van.

She was a whimsical and delightful lady.She was very devoted to her hubby and her family.May all who knew her enjoy memories of this special gal. with love Cheri Michael
