Dearest Barbara, I miss your free spirit, the warmth of your smile, and your shiny sparkly personality. You had a way of making everyone feel special, and I hope you knew just how special you were. You chose the role of peacemaker, and almost never had an unkind word. I admired you for that. The world needs more people with your spirit. I love you and miss you. RIP beautiful one.

Lori and Elaine, there is not enough room to express my feelings and memories with your mom. We began our friendship 68 years ago. Even though as adults we were not always together sharing time, the bond we created as kids was everlasting. From paper dolls, our play café, just hanging out after church on Sunday, to boys and school. I will miss my friend wish I had been able to have more time with her.

R.I.P. Barbara . Condolences to her family & friends for our loss. Barbara was an exceptional friend, can't imagine not talking to her especially on her Valentines Day birthday, Feb 14th. She was my dispatcher for hotshot loads & roommate for a time. Lot of fun & sweetest person anyone could ever know. We were so blessed to have known & loved her. She will be missed by many.
