Such a loss for you. Barb had a great impact on me and others she met. As a devoted Catholic and holy woman she was there when I needed her. It was good to share CHRP and True Life Choices together. She was so proud and devoted to her family. I loved seeing her smiling face at Star Bank. I'm so sorry I didn't spend more time with her. Your life memories with her are certainly abundant. May God give you peace and comfort. I know she is rejoicing in the light of God in heaven. Mike and Linda M

Tom, Gretchen and Ben,
We are so sorry on the loss of your wife and mom. I met Barb when Sean was in the band and she was was our "diehard uniform worker". She always had a smile for everyone and such a wonderful spirit. I would see her and your dad in church on occasion and she was always so cheerful.
You and your whole family are in our prayers. God Bless.

Barb, I am reminded of this poem when I think what you've been through. May you rest in peace and know that the although the family will heal, we are forever changed and miss you.
"God looked around the garden, and saw an empty space.
He looked down upon the earth, and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful for he only takes the best.
He knew that you were weary, and He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never be well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids, and whispered "Peace be thine."
