It's hard to believe it's been five years. Barb was coming to visit with us that afternoon. Memories of when Bobby was born. We talked about his name. My response, Robert Paul York, "that's classic!" Of course they all had to have "classic" names and she was amazed that I remembered them all, Tyler Everett Lloyd and Brandi Marilyn Marie. They had moved, so I never had the chance to baby sit with the younger two. I was proud and pleased when she said having her "Other Mom," take care of her son. was special. LOVING MEMORIES OF BEAUTIFUL BARB. Resting well. XOXOXO

We first met Barb when she was a student at W. K. Junior High. She grew up with our children, and best friend to our daughter Charlotte. Watching her grow, visits attending her wedding, and baby sitting with Bobby for many months before they moved to Hawaii. There is so much more, think of her often, have many photos, and always remember her birthday. Barb was coming to visit us later, the day she passed. A real Sweetheart, she called me Mom. Barb was one of my daughters that I didn't give birth to. "HEAVEN HAS ANOTHER ANGEL!" XOXOXO

Missing you never gets easier. Especially around the holiday's. We are making Christmas cookies today, something you'd always come over to do with us. Remember the year Tyler put to much salt? Great memories, wish we could have made more. Love and miss you so very much. ❤

Wow, it has been three years. A few weeks ago I came across a photo of Barb, taken in my driveway, with her perched on the hood of her car, with that "enchanting full of life Barb smile!" Lots of memories, NEVER to be forgotten. LOVING prayers for her family. XOXOXO

This is hard. I hadn't attempted to do this until now. Barb was such a sweet heart, with a smile to get lost in, and a hearty laugh of joy. Barb and I talked in January, and again in March. She promised to come for a visit and do some "catching up" on her next visit to Battle Creek. To keep it a surprise, she would cal when it was time to come to our home. We, husband and I were really looking forward to seeing her. The accident was a few miles away, she never made it here. Health reasons kept us from her homegoing. There are so many fond memories, Barb will be missed. Much LOVE, prayers and and condolences to Barb's children, grands, all of her family and friends......another Angel in Heaven. XOXOXO

I have known Barb for years since I was about 8 or 9 years old. We lost contact when her and Bob moved down to Indiana, We got back in contact again on Facebook some years ago and then lost contact again, Barb was a very out going person. Always willing to give you the best advise, her smile could light up a room, She was always there to give hugs and compliments. She will be forever missed by everyone who knew her. RIH Barb
