Soon your mind will remember memories you shared with Barbara which comes from the heart. I am having memories today of sweet loving Barb. She loved Jesus and we will see her in heaven if we love Jesus as Barb did. Our first friendship began at Auburndale Main Street Diner then all the trips to Van Wert Oh and other trips we took together. We feel sorry for Tom and the families and yes we loved Barb and will miss her. Love Clair and Nancy Harting
