So sorry for your loss seem like such empty words……….. My folks adored her… It was wonderful to hear stories Dad would share!
Prayers and hugs for comfort for the family
Barb was a wonderful soul. I met her when she had daycare in her home in Mondamin. Such kindness, patience and love. Prayers for her family. May her memory be eternal.
She was our Angel, now she is God’s Angel
My deepest sympathy to cousin Frank and the family. Was shocked to hear the news from another cousin, Carol Rae. I only met Barbara a few times at family funerals but what a delightful person. So friendly and such a great smile. Hugs to all.
