Not sure what to say?

I took piano lessons from Barbara’s mother, Tekla Hertz, for 10 years in Ellensburg, WA. I would often see Barbara come home from school and she also helped with the piano recitals that Tek had, serving delicious refreshments. I thought Barbara Hertz was the most beautiful girl I’d had ever seen and she was so nice to all of us younger children. My Mom was in Tek’s bridge club. I still remember even at 73 years old, what a gorgeous bride Barbara was. I can see from this picture she was...

Such a very special lady with so much warmth and love; all smiles and good thoughts when in her company; wonderful stories of her life and her special family, she really made someone feel so good; will miss her so very much, I hope she's now very happy with Da. Love you Gamie

Barbara was a wonderful P.E.O. sister and friend to me for 40 plus years. Her family meant the world to her and she was happiest when they could gather for any occasion or outing. She was a lovely, gracious and talented woman. We will miss her very much.

I will miss her constant cheerfulness!

Sorry and sad to hear about Barbara. She will be missed. She was a lively lady who was so proud of her family. She was always smiling and joyful.

I am so sad to read about Barb this morning. I was a classroom teacher and had the honor working with her, and being a friend. She had sent me a message letting me know about the loss of her husband who was everything to her. She said she was broken without him. I told her she would have him every day in her heart pocket, and she was blessed to have her family with her during this sad time. After that I sent her funny things to try and make her laugh or smile. Now she is gone within months...

I remember Barbara modeling at the Ladies’ Literary Club Gala. She had a flair and warmth that helped make the event fun. We will miss her. Please accept my sympathy.

My deepest sympathy to the Wallgren family. I always enjoyed my visits with them both when I returned their vehicles when I took them in for service. they were not only customers but good friends. May they both rest in peace.


Offering our deepest sympathies during this time.
