My deepest sympathies to Barb's family. Though only meeting her once I could tell she was a very special person. It was a great day to share our pictures and family stories. I know how much you must miss her.
God Bless you all.

To Barb's beloved family,

I first met Barb in 1999. She soon became a member of our YaYa group of girlfriends. I loved her sense of humor, her compassion, and her generosity. We were special friends, two educators in a group dominated by nurses - we had to stick together! A decade was not nearly enough time to have with Barb, yet I am grateful to have been blessed with so many happy memories of our friendship. I am unable to attend the service on Saturday, but please know that I am present in spirit. I am praying for all of you. I know that Barb is at peace. Love,
Kathy Lenz

Fondly, Catherine

My sympathies to you and your family on the loss of your mother. I didn't know her well but she was always pleasant to me and extremely considerate, one of the best neighbors I have ever had.
