I worked with Barb at Home Outfitters. I only worked there for a short period of time and therefore didn't know her too well, but I do know how much she loved her family. I heard many great stories about her grandson. I am so shocked to hear about her passing, and offer my condolences to all of you.

Kasey and I had looked forward to your retirement with more opportunities for closer contact. We loved your sunny smile, your incredible talents for sewing, knitting, to say nothing about cooking. You were always up for our visits when we were closer and your hospitality was awesome. You will be thought of often and we will miss you dearly.

. I Love You Sister

Losing you is a very depressing moment for me, and it is taking all my strength to deal with this.

We have always had a strong bond, and that is making this a bit easier to deal with.

When we were children we played and laughed, and I have a lot of memorable times. As the big sister, you stood by me through my stupid life mistakes, always ready to love me, comfort me and defend me.

You are my sister and always will be, that cannot be taken away from us.
All the memories I will never forget and always cherish.

I cannot replace your hugs.

My deepest condolences. Barbara was my first Canadian friend when we immigrated many years ago and she introduced me to my new country and culture. Although our paths digressed, I will always remember her with affection and a smile. I'm so very sorry for your loss.
