Barb was kind, generous and willing to give of her time and energy to help others! When I started travelling to promotional products tradeshows back in the 1980's I was young and inexperienced. Barb was always there to offer a helping hand, give advise or assistance and to make sure I was safe. She would check in with me even when I didn't think I needed that. Barb had many years of experience being on the road and served as a mentor to so many of us coming up the ranks.

I was so sad to hear of her passing! Losing someone who truly cared about others makes this world a little dimmer, but she passed the torch on to so many of us in this industry and that won't be forgotten!

I am so sorry to hear of Barb's passing. She was a wonderful person who I looked up to when I started in the promotional products industry 28 years ago on the supplier side in recognition.

I had the privilege of working with Barb for a short period of time at Advance Corp. She was a most pleasant person with a strong work ethic, an admirable amount of common sense and a genuine caring for others. My sympathy to her family and friends. May God be good to her because of her goodness to others.

Dear Gerlach Family,
We are remembering Bobby today as the vivacious loving teenager at the family picnics at Aunt Dottie’s and Uncle Larry’s home with Uncle Larry playing sing along tunes! Such a loving family! Heaven gained with her arrival in Heaven though everyone on earth will miss her!
Much love,
