The best God made in a loving daughter, wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and friend, that was Barb! If you were fortunate enough to be her friend, you were blessed beyond measure. Often I experienced her kind, loving wisdom and and heart-felt advice. She was ready to help in anyway. Her sense of humor was was always spot-on, she could make you laugh in an instant, I so admired that about her. She always made you feel good to be in her presence.
My daughter had the best mother-in-law ever, for that I am forever grateful! I will see her in her son and our grandson until I am able to see her again.
Rest in peace with your loved ones in heaven Barb, I love you.

The Lord has welcomed another sweet angel into his arms. The girls and I were so blessed to have Nana Barb in our lives. Her wisdom, words of advice, gentle caring nature, and thoughtfulness, smile, and laugh will not be matched by any other. You will surely be missed by all those who have been lucky enough to have you touch their lives even in the smallest way. God bless and condolences to family and loved ones.
