We will always remember Barb and she has a special place in Nelly´s heart. Nelly would call her and they would talk about everything (even politics) and laugh! She will be deeply missed. May she rest now in heaven. Love, Nelly & Susie

The Ivanettes

Our sympathies to Barbara´s entire family - she really loved all of you and was so intensely proud of all of her grandchildren. The women in our Ivanettes bowling league all enjoyed bowling weekly with Barbara for many, many years and loved her wickedly funny sense of humor - she was a wonderful friend and will be missed.
