Dear Steinkerchner family,
I just heard about Barb"s passing. I am sorry for your family's lost. She was a classmate of mine in Argentina in 1972/73. May you all be comforted by your faith in your loss.

Dear Steinkerchner family,
I was a 9th grade classmate of Barb's in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I heard about her passing today and wanted to pay my respects. She was a very sweet person back then, and I can see that she was well loved and left a legacy. Comparing her recent picture with her yearbook photo, it looks like she had not aged one bit. May you all be comforted by your faith in your loss.

Dear Mark, Lauren and Daniel - I worked with Barb for several years when she was the AT&T acct rep for BFGoodrich. She was always smiling, helpful and kind and I told her many times she looked like she stepped off a magazine cover because she was always so beautifully dressed. I remember how thrilled she was when she got pregnant and I know from numerous conversations with her that she just adored all of you and I'm sure she's watching over all of you now. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you today and always.

Some people make a difference just by who they are, Barb, you did that in all your endeavors. The world will be a little less bright, but that light will shine within us forever with the memories you shared by being a part of our lives. Thanks, Barb for taking us in with your infectious smile and laughter, your love for all, and making the world a better and brighter place as you walked among us. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you, Mark, Dan & Lauren.

Barb was my first manager when I came to Ohio in 1987. She was a good manager but a better friend. We especially enjoyed the almost 20 straight years we worked the Red Cross Thanksgiving Dinner together with many other AT&T friends. Our kids shared the same experience and it was a treat watching them grow into such wonderful young adults. Barb left a wonderful legacy. We will miss her dearly. May God Bless you and fill your hearts and minds with wonderful memories of her.
Mark, Danny and Lauren...you will be in our hearts and prayers.

Dear Mark, Dan and Lauren, We are thinking of you and keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Barbara was such a thoughtful and kind person. She will be greatly missed. Rod and I were remembering how she came over to our home as soon as we moved into Bathcrest. It was a very cold and blustery day in December, 1989. She brought us warm pasta from Papa Joe's, a big salad, and a bottle of wine. It was so sweet! We really didn't have any food to eat and it was our first night there on Pelee Drive. So we very much appreciated her kindness. We also remembered the fun neighborhood parties she had, like the "hat party." (I was pregnant with Sharon then, so Stephen would have been about four years old). I remember visiting with the neighbors in your beautiful backyard and the kids playing together and having a great time. I also remember that when Sharon was around 18 months old, Barbara invited us over for an Easter Egg Hunt and party; and the Roberts were there. Sharon and Erica met for the first time at that party! Barbara was such a special person. We have so many happy and wonderful memories of her. We are thinking of you, Mark, Daniel, Lauren, the Roberts, and all of your family during this difficult time. We will pray that God is with you and He comforts you. With Sincere Sympathy, Robin, Rodney, Stephen and Sharon Caldwell Bath, Ohio

Mark, Dan and Lauren;
My wife and I want to express our deepest sympathy to you during this difficult time. We could always count on her contagious smile and a pleasant conversation when she arrived at a football or basketball game or when she worked in the concession stand. She was truly an inspiration to all in whom she came in contact. Her legacy of love and caring will live on in the hearts and minds of many. You are a great family and I know you have many wonderful memories of her. We are lifting your family up in prayer that God will wrap you in His loving arms and give you the comfort only He can give.

We have many fun memories of Barb, and you too. Christmas parties, White water rafting on the New River, Murder Mystery parties, Mad Hatter party, Wing Hollow Ski trips, Cook outs, Cleveland Browns football parties plus get togethers just because. Memories of the beginning of her career with AT&T at Wolf Ledges and the heights she reached.
She lived life to the fullest and it was our honor to be apart of her life. A remarkable lady she was.
We will miss Barb as will all those who's lives she touched.

Dear Steinkerchner Family,
The day my mother told me that her best friend is very sick, I could hardly believe my ears. I remember when my brother, sister and I would bring our puppy, Cuddles over to your house so she could play with her sister, Lucky. I always loved and cherished our times at your house, either for puppy play dates, dinners, or the amazing ice skating rink Mr. Steinkerchner would make every winter. I will truly miss you Mrs.Steinkerchner and my thoughts are with you Mr. Steinkerchner, Lauren and Dan.
