Ben and Family,
Words cannot express how much we will miss "Barb". She was truly an angel. I will always cherish the special care and attention she gave to all three of my children and the friendship she gave me. We are so happy that our last visit together two weeks ago was full of smiles and happy memories. With Love, The Obey Family
