Hi Family. Tim was my best friend starting about 60 years ago & Barb was our 2nd Mom as we grew up, you on Thurston, us on Prospect. After re-connecting, it was sure nice to visit Barb occasionally over the last few years. So very sorry for your loss cause it's hard not being able to visit your Mom (or Grandma) when you want. . . With my condolences

I had the wonderful opportunity to know Barbara for the past 6 years as I treated her off and on at St. Peter Hospital. She was an absolute joy. She remains an inspiration to me. I will miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Joe and Denny - so sad to hear about your mother. I just lost my mom recently too. I guess that makes us the senior generation now.

I met your dear Mother in a chat room and we became good friends, we traveled to the ocean many times as we both loved to enjoy the sea air and sand under our feet. One trip was special to us, Barb actually walked on the hard beach sand with her new walker, she laughed and smiled as she left all those prints in the sand and said to me "What a wonderful day".
I want to thank all her family for sharing your Mother and Grandmother with me, she will always bring a smile and lots of memories to my heart.
love to all..........Wanda Lyles
