I took care of Ms. Barbara many times at the VA. She had a hearty laugh, an amazing smile and so much love. She did give the best hugs and I will truly miss her. I am glad that she will no longer be in pain. She was definitely an angel.

I got to know Barbara and Bucky at Woodleaf Bowling Center. Barbara was such a kind person and always had a way of making everyone feel acknowledged, valued, and loved. You never came in to the bowling center that she wasnt yelling your name and giving you a big hug. Her genuine kindness and care for people will always be remembered. She will truly be missed

Dear sweet Barbara gave me a blessing the last time we met. It was fitting, because she was a blessing to everyone she met.
So kind, and funny. I pass back the three fold blessing to you and yours, may the words bring you the joy she brought to us.
May the Lord bless you and keep you, lovely Barbara; the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
