Oh I miss my friend Barb so much. We met as co-workers at Sac High, then became fast friends. Our friendship grew and even after our retirements we would meet for birthday and Christmas lunches and dinners. We had such fun and funny conversations. I still can't believe she's gone. I wanted to speak at her service, but I was too emotional. I miss my friend.

Oh sweet Barbara, I’m so sad to not be able to see you walking into LaBou and time we spent chatting, laughing and sharing. The wonderful Christmas brunches we enjoyed at Lynne’s home were always more special when you attended. Thank you for your loving ways, which I shall always remember. Loving regards, Carol

Barbara and I were counterparts when we worked as Career Center Technicians. Barb worked at Sac Hi and I was at Kennedy. Barbara was very supportive of me during a very dark time in my life and I truly appreciated her care and support. We were scheduled to go to lunch when the pandemic finally permitted us to be together. I was very disappointed we were not able to spend that time together so my daughter Shelley and I went to the Pheasant Club on Saturday night for the steak sandwich and ravioli's Barbara and I were to share. I will miss her and our time together at our Christmas brunch.
Sarah and Darren be very kind to yourselves as you grief your beloved mother and my dear friend. In Christ's peace. Lynne Gilbertson

Knew Barbara thru another friend. She enjoyed picking up lunch at LaBou and always had time to sit with my hubby and I for a chat. I loved her humor and the hug she always left me with. I will miss this lovely lady who touched my heart. Blessings to her family. Fondly Carol and Rich Reilly.
