My thoughts and prayers are with your family. My name is Lynn and she was my customer and friend at Curves. I just found out that Barb passed and I am so sorry I didn't get to attend her service. Barb was loved and admired by many, she was such an inspiration to everyone she met. Barb will be missed.

Richard and family
It saddens me that the years have gone by and Barb and I hadn't stayed in touch. Now I can only say goodbye through all of you.

We were "best" friends growing up across the street from each other

What a beautiful woman, mother, wife, friend.

Prayers and Blessings to all Phyllis Clark

Rich, so sorry we are not there for support for youself and family. However, Barb and all of you will continue to be in thoughts and prayer. As a firm believer in God's promise of a better life hereafter, I can't help but believe that Paul and Barb are hanging out and knowing Paul, probably tipping a few. Love Paul & Geri
