Barb was the BEST. I knew her through HIG. We traveled together and many phone calls creating and solving the obstacles of HIG and the future of how fit into its existence. We would bounce ideas off each other and we developed a deep friendship, but I was one of many. She loved her family so much. Her voice would change when talking about them. She soooo loved her husband !!!
She will be missed, but I´m glad her battle is over. She filled ALL our hearts with only GREAT memories!!! I now have to be a superior human, (and correct my past endeavors) so I can join her in heaven. I love you sweet lady, Barb Anders. Till I seen you in heaven
