What a lady! I also had the pleasure of working with Barbara. Aside from being one of the most competent and caring nurses, Barbara was a true friend. I am thankful for the many special memories from fun times together. My thoughts and prayers go to her family -- she will indeed be missed!

I had the honor of working with Barbara Stroman at McLeod. She was not only a superb co-worker, but also a very dear friend. Barbara was one of those special people who come into our lives and make them better. I will always remember the good times - the laughs we shared at work, on our road trips together, and at our house parties. She had a profound influence on my life. The little blue bird of happiness she gave me years ago will always sit on my windowsill and remind me of her. Rest in peace, Barbara. You will be missed.
