She was the most energetic and most caring friend that I've ever known. She was so willing to assist any person at Community Sharing with an open heart. She had the best smile! It's no surprise how many friends she had that loved her. She was pure joy!

We were close friends in the 70's and 80's but drifted apart after they moved away from Livonia. Our condolences on the loss of a beautiful wife and mother/grandmother. We had many good times and have fond memories of Barb, Ed, Chris and Steve.

Ed, you are in my thoughts and prayers. You two were the model couple. Barb was a force to be reckoned with. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Barb was a treasured friend who always was full of energy, the most giving heart and was like sunshine with her personality. She always took the time to ask me how my family was specifically asking about one of my daughters and about my son. She always had time for the clients and would move heaven and earth to assist them. She gave so much of her talent, time and loving care to Community Sharing and to her friends. She enriched my life just knowing her. I will miss her terribly!
