Aunt Barb, you will be greatly missed. Although we did not get to see you as often as when I was a child, I enjoyed being able to visit with you when it was possible. You were a strong woman in a small package. You are once again with Uncle Richard, and I am certain you are happy. We wish we could be there with your family to help comfort them in their sorrow, and to help celebrate your memory.

I mainly knew Barb thru Terri's love for her, and their many phone conversations! She was a font of wisdom, and had such a generous spirit, and love for her daughters. May her spirit fill the skies with warmth.
