Dear Andy and Family, We are very saddened and sorry. Barb was so caring and considerate. We always looked forward to our conversations and visits with Barb, and both of us will miss her.

Dr. Botschner & Family: Our sincere condolences to all of you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.
Liquid Prayers
The tears flow freely down my cheek
each drop a silent word to speak
Sometimes when it is too hard to pray
my tears know just the words to say...
I thank You, God, for tears that fall
I thank You, God, that You see them all
the words are silent, but they are there...
Each one a silent, liquid prayer.

So very sorry for your loss. Barb was such a joy to be around when she would regularly substitute teach on the second grade team at Northwood Elementary several years ago. More recently, enjoyed her company at baseball games for her grandson and my son who played together little league on up. I adored her faithful family support and welcoming smile.
