I just found out yesterday of Barb's passing. What a shock, Barb was a truly great lady. I worked with Barb at TWC and on two very sad occasions in my life, Barb was there for me and I will never forget her help, concern and kindness. I read the book "The five people you'll meet in heaven" and thinking about that book now, Barb is one of those people that touched many lives and she is with some of them now in Heaven. Hugging my daughter and joking around with Al. Rest in peace my friend.

Barb was one of my bosses at United Bank and a terrific lady she was. After we all were laid off, she brought us all together at her home to discuss job searches and whatever she could do to help. You will be so missed, Barb. You left this world way too early, but we are all comforted knowing of your faith and we know where you are now.

Words can't express the emotions that I am feeling right now. Aunt Barb was such an amazing woman who everyone loved. She was a listener, a giver, a friend, a wife, a sister and an aunt. I love you so very much Aunt Barb. You have made such an impact on my life. Words can never express how much you mean to me. I love you.

To say that Barb will be missed is leaving so much out. From loaning books to showing others how to knit (which provided the rest of us great joy with yarn tangles) to just being there when we had a question that needed a different view. My truest sympathies and heart felt condolences.
