Jim and Family,
Daryl and I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to you at this difficult time. It's been over ten years since we first met you and Barb and we had many wonderful visits after that time. It was always such fun to spend time with both of you. We laughed and laughed. There's a deep hole in my heart now that she's gone. My prayers are that God will comfort you at this time. Barb will be missed so much by so many.

My thoughts are with Barb's family and friends at this difficult time. I never had the good fortune to meet Barb in person, I knew her only through a few online Disney communities. She was always positive, kind and generous. She had so much wisdom that she shared about many things. She will truly be missed.

Jim and family,

My prayers, thoughts, and PD are with you all as you go through this difficult time. Barb was a very special person. I unfortunately never was able to meet her and Jim in person but became friends through the DVC Lounge Yahoo group. Barb will always be thought of fondly and we will never forget her humour and insight she brought to our little group.

God bless you all!

I never had the privilege of meeting Barb in person, I only ‘knew’ her through the DVC Lounge Lizards Yahoo group. What a bright star in the group, always full of fun & encouragement for others. My prayers for “peace that surpasses all understanding” are with your family during this difficult time. I pray also that you find rest and peace in all the wonderful memories you have of times spent with Barb. I know she must be so proud of all of you.

Jim, Mike and Karin, I am so sorry and sad. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I can't remember not knowing Barb and still laugh at the memories of the Kicks games and tail-gate parties at the old Met; going to Las Vegas and the infamous cruise to St. Thomas. Barb was loved by all and I like to think that she and dad are sharing memories in Heaven.
