I miss Barbs phone calls. When i would come home I’d see the red button on the phone flashing. I’d know Barb had called.

I remember Barb so well. I miss coming into my home and not seeing that red button on the phone flashing. It usually meant Barb had called and I’d call her back.

My Aunt Barb was always cheerful. I remember her at our family reunions as being slim and agile. I have memories of playing Gin Rummy with her around the table at Aunt Kathleens. I'm impressed by the friendship Barb and my Mom (Ardelle) had. My Mom always said Barb was like a sister to her. I'm especially grateful for the night I had an overnight for work in Great Falls and Aunt Barb came to visit me at my hotel. Rest in peace Aunt Barb.

Barbara’s brother Doug and I were the best of friends, we were at the tennis courts in Ft. Macleod with Barbara when Jack Adams came by. Barbara then said he was very handsome. Little did we know that she would marry him.

I loved visiting and getting to know Grama Barb over past few years. She was soo sweet and thoughtful. When our son married her granddaughter in 2014, she sent us a wonderful card stating how much she enjoyed the wedding. I knew then I was really going to like her. Stepping into her house , you felt right at home. She will be missed.
