My condolences go out to Barb's family and friends. Over the last two years I have had the pleasure of getting to know her not only as her nurse but as a friend. She was always full of good advice and had a knack for finding an article on anything you mention. She will be missed, and her passing was a shock to me. She is in a better place with the angels now. May her family find peace in her not suffering any longer. May God be with you during this difficult time.
