I was reading the Halifax Herald this morning and I saw Barb's obituary. We were neighbours, on Maple Street, in Borden and she was friendly and kind. She gave me great children tips and great receipes.

Barbara's smiling face has been a staple in our neighbourhood for so many years, it is hard to imagine how quickly she was taken from us. My sincerest,heartfelt , condolances go out to Bill, Phillip, Mike, Dale & all their collective families & friends. She has left us with years of memories and antics, which will make us smile as we remember her sense of humour and friendly smiles. I feel privileged to have been counted as one of her friends.

Corky ,Mike, Phillip, Dale, and families. I share deeply in your sorrow . I have such great memories of my time spent with Barbara , most recently in N.S. at Shirley's . We had such great laughs .. Barbara was just 13 years older than me, and as a teenager, I thought she was just THE coolest cousin ever !! Do you know that Barbara was the one who taught me to iron ?? Sleeves first, you know !! Although you are far away in miles ..you are close by in my thoughts ..Huge hugs, Cheryl McBeth Preston ,Norwood, Ontario

I have many fond memories growing up as a cousin of Barbara' s . My most recent is a few years ago in Nova Scotia at her sister Shirley's. My sister Cheryl, our Mom (mae mcbeth) and I went down for a vacation and had a sleepover with Barbara at Shirleys. What happens at a girls night stays at a girls night! I am happy to have only fun memories to remember her by. Barbara will be missed by many.
