I've met Barb many years ago at Vista Grand Villa which she became like family to me by always being soo loving and caring. She has touched many lives and will be remembered by everyone. She was one amazing woman who I'm very thankful that I had the chance to meet her and got to know her wonderful family. She'll definitely will be missed but her memories will last a long time. I send my deepest sympathy to her family.

Deanna, Carrie and Charlie,

I have countless warm memories of growing up in our neighborhood and many of them center around your household and your quiet, gracious mother. From afar, I was so pleased to hear stories of David and Barbara's travels and happy time together. Two favorite people from my youth. Peace and blessings to your entire families in a difficult time.

So sorry for the loss of your mother/grandmother .
Barb was along time client of mine . I enjoyed doing her hair and making her even more beautiful. Even though I haven´t been able to enjoy her visit to the salon in some time I still missed them . I hope she passed in peace and you all find your peace as well
