I met Barbara through her friend Bonnie Hueber and through my Mom, Joyce Jones. I have played Bunko with Dominoes with her. She was a very sweet lady. She always seemed happy and had funny stories to share. I will miss her smile, her laugh and her sweet personality. God bless you Barbara. My condolences to the family and her many friends.

Aunt Barabara was a wonderful and loving person. She had so much spirit. It will be difficult not having her around and listening to her and seeing her smiles but we do know that she is now in the loving arms of Jesus Christ.
