My dearest Aunt Barbara, I am so grateful for visits throughout the years. When I was little I remember your home in Texas. I was so grateful to have visited your family home in Ohio with Grandma Ester and Aunt Ellen. I was looking for the photo we took by the well. Our last visit was when I ran the marathon in Santa Barbara and Grandma and I spent a night at your place. Thank you for your kindness always. Love Rachela I will always carry you in my heart and memories

I will always cherish the memories of Aunt Barbara. She was always so charismatic, full of energy and so outgoing. The sweetest ever with a voice to match. My time with her was short but always impactful, even just the little things like gathering for dinner. This photo was probably the last time I was able to see her.

My Dearest `Barbie´ you truly were (& are), one-in-a-million! Here was our trip w/Dan to Washburn Point, Yosemite. All our love to her outstanding friends & community who stood by her steadfastly in Santa Maria, it truly connected w/her! She was my extremely devoted big sister who defies our vocabulary, as once you met her you could never forget her, & vis-versa. Lovingly Esther

I always enjoyed my aunt Barbara's high spirits and glowing energy,she could run circles around you, we would see her while visiting my granda in California. As a young boy, i remember spending time with her at her home in Austin one stormy 4th of july weekend, there was a creek bed in the back filling up quite quickly from all the rain , she was loving and kind and make me laugh, it was nice as kid being there with her , ill never forget that memory of mine with her. Love and Miss You...

God shined through Barbara all the time. What a sweet saint of God. A real lady who represented Christ well. She is in fullness of joy now and forevermore!

We all miss and enjoyed you, love niece Lizzy-Beth... and, mom, your sister, loves and misses you... as we sign this, now, during our phone-chat.... thank you for for simply being you!

Whether she was playing piano, singing or reading me poetry on Ellen´s porch in Windsor, OH, Aunt Barbara was always effervescent. I (1 of 23 nieces/nephews) was very fortunate to enjoy many heartwarming experiences with this exceptional lady. Look up to the sky at night, as surely a star is shining brighter with her heavenly presence.

Barbara was an inspiration to many. Her lovely smile and her positive attitude were wonderful.

My dear Barbara was such a precious friend to me! She was part of my family and was so loved! I will miss her beautiful face, her love for Jesus and just being around her lovely self! You are now home!!! Well done faithful servant! Love you! Eleanor Eastland
