Dear Wayne, Randy & Rob,
Barbara was a wonderful, loving and caring woman, and for many years she was my very best friend. Many times, Barbara was the only person I could confide in. When Rick and I, were so flat broke & struggling, Barb would bring us groceries, as I’m sure she did for anyone she knew who needed it. Barbara did everything she could to make this world a better place, and she did. I will always treasure the times we had together. Use those wings, blue eyed Angel, to watch over us all. To the one who taught me to “never say goodbye without saying you love them”, I love you, Barb.

Hugs! I met Barbara when I was 18. And I remember outer conversation to a t! She was so loving and helpful and taught me a very funny way to remember her phone number. Lol. We would have lunch dates at Mc Donald’s when they actually served brats. After Melissa and I parted I didn’t see her again but always remembered what am amazing woman she was and how lucky Melissa was to have her for a grandmother !
