Mama Barb, you were definitely one of a kind and will be missed by many especially us, your family. No matter what you were going through you did bravely and with a smile. You loved life no matter what it through at you and for that I will always admire your strength. I will love you and miss you until we meet again. Melissa "the brat"

Oh mom, where do I begin? You were the strongest woman I´ve ever met. Through all of life´s struggles you still smiled and made the best of every day. Your humor and personality were one of a kind. You loved us unconditionally, you taught us how to be strong and resilient. But no matter how strong you taught me to be, this has broken me. I don´t know how I will get through my days without you here but I´ll do my best and try. Until we meet again, I love you mom. A bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck. Fly high my beautiful mama.
