I will miss my Aunt Barbara. I loved the times I spent with Aunt Barbara & Uncle Don. I will always enjoy my memories of the Douglas Family reunions at the park by Aunt Barbara's. She was a great Mother and Grandmother.

Karen & Trent,
We were so sorry to hear of the passing of both of your Mothers. Wow, what a double jolt. Barbara was one of the nicest, sweetest people that I know. Cindy and I know how much you will miss her. They say she is in a better place,but it is still hard. Sorry to miss her service, but I am in Florida for a while. Our sincere condolences to you both.
