What a beautiful obituary. It's true and very telling. For all of us who knew Barb,loved her. She gave me more than I deserved and although I'm convicted by that,Im convinced she wouldn't want it any other way. She knew that I am eternally grateful
For our friendship and thankful for it. Barb taught me a lot. She helped me grow in the faith and in maturity and I will not waste the lessons learned from her. I'm so thankful for Don, Elaine and Anna for sharing her with me. Much love and prayers to you all
