Jill & John and family members. I found it very difficult to deal with Barb's passing. I've known your your mom since the mid 80's when I begin working with her at the St. Paul Co's. I remember our walks and talks when I moved to Inver Grove Hts. I loved our little mini get together's at her houses and at Timber Hills. I'll always remember you and pray for you. I am greatful to have known you and for being one of your many friends. God please give Barb extra kisses and hugs from her friends down here.She is and was a wonderful person.

My deepest sympathy to Jill, John and all of Barb's family. Barb - you will be deeply missed.

I find it so hard to believe she's gone. I have so many wonderful, fun memories of Barb, from working with her, dinners with her, a trip to Paris with her, and just lots of laughs together. Barb will always be in all our hearts.

RIP, Barb - until we meet again. I know you're watching over us all now, and smiling that wonderful smile of yours!
Love & Peace -
Donna
