I’m so sorry to hear of Barbara’s passing. I always remember Christine talking about her and when I finally got to meet her, it was like I knew her for years. I know she is in peace now and know she is in heaven with her girls ❤️

I am so sorry to hear about Barbs passing. We had great times at McCaskey and she was liked by everyone. I remember you and Barb coming into Farmers Supply, it was the first time I had seen her since school and she looked the same. We always had our backs to talk about. She was a beautiful person and will be greatly missed.

My condolences to the family
Barbara was a school friend (back in that day, we had elementary school – kindergarten through 6 grade: junior high school – 7th through 9th grade: senior high school 10th through 12th grade). I have known Barbara from junior through senior school years. May the beauty, kindness & strength of Barbara ease the transition of Barb passing on.

So sorry to see that Barbara had gone to be with her daughters in heaven. I worked with her at Physician’s Support System many years ago, so I haven’t been in contact with her for many years. Sorry for your loss. God speed Barb. 🕊️💜
