Our condolences to Barbara's family. Cathy, that was a beautiful message you wrote about her. She was indeed a beautiful, kind woman and I liked her very much.

My mother-in-law, Barbara left this world with patient grace. She was steadfast even with loss after loss, her cherished husband Floyd, many friends and family members and the slow loss of abilities. She found purpose in her care for others throughout her life-whether neighbor, family or friend and was a model for never neglecting one in need. I will cherish her memory and am comforted by her longing to be with Floyd and her release to a heavenly home without suffering.
