I am so sad to have lost this dear friend of mine. Each month I looked forward to visiting and playing music for Barbara in her room. She was my all time favorite and highlight at the Riverside Home. I will miss her and so sad to hear about her passing.

I had the privilege of caring for Barbara during her time at Riverside. She was a wonderful lady who always had a smile and kind words. I took care of her on her last night with us. Her and her special friend (roommate) were laughing and joking as they usually did. She will be sadly missed. So sorry for your loss.

Karen & family, So sorry to read about your mother. I think she was on the same ward as my mom at Riverside. I only met her once when we were in junior high and she was very nice. I hope you can find a measure of comfort knowing she is now at peace and with God.
