Barb was my Mother and I's next door neighbor for over a decade. As a kid, we would visit her inside her home quite often. She kept a beautiful home with vintage decor. We always kept her lawn and gardens looking great for her. I looked forward to visiting her on holidays; because of her loving soul, she would give me gifts like I was her own grandson. She did the same thing for my nieces and nephews, she was particularly close to my niece, Sierra. She misses her 'Grandma Barb' dearly. Barb was a very gentle, sweet, thoughtful, and compassionate person. I still think about you from time to time, Barb. Until we meet again, keep my mother close by your side and watch over her in Heaven, Okay? Love you. - Mathias
