I have missed Barbara since the day she moved on from the Sheriff's Office and onto better days with her family. She was one of the best and will continue to live in my memories as a wonderful friend and co-worker. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends during this time. Barbara, you were loved and will be missed.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be So he put his arms around you and whispered Come With Me. With tearful eyes I watched you, slowly fade away, Although I loved you dearly, I would not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke my heart to prove to me, He only takes the best. ~ I Love You Honey Merl ~

A very special person is gone from our midst. Barb loved everyone, especially her family. She was always loving, caring, supportive and forgiving, and she will be missed!! But we know she is now in the arms of Jesus and we will be with her again. You are loved, sister, now and forever!

When we take our vows and say, "until death do we part," we are lying to ourselves. Death only brings a physical departure. A marriage and the bond between a husband and wife make two people into one. That means that even when we lose a wife, we are still left with that special love that burns inside and never dies. That internal love burns on even if our wife is no longer with us. Clinging to that love inside of us, even if it can never be physically expressed, should carry us and sustain us in her passing.
I Love You Honey, your husband MR
