As I look back and reflect on my cousin Barbara, I know what an strong and beautiful women she was. A great Mother, Grandmother, and awesome sister she was to Peggy and Leisa as well as a beloved daughter to Joe and Linda. She loved her family so much and I know God is well pleased for that love she gave. She will be greatly missed, but the life she lived is a lifetime of precious love and memories, Love you Barbara..rest in Jesus arms.

I had the pleasure of sitting next to Barb at work and over time we became good friends. She had a quick wit and sense of humor that I will miss along with her wisdom and advice. No matter what the issue, Barb had a sense of understanding and wisdom that only comes from living a full life. I miss our talks, her hugs, and especially her laugh. I had only recently heard and my thoughts and prayers are with her family as our world is a dimmer place without her in it.

We will never be able to thank everyone for their love, support and prayers during the last two months. Although Barbara will be terribly missed it is comforting to know that she is at peace and in the hands of our Lord. Barbara had amazing strength and we were blessed to have her in our lives. Thanks to all her friends and extended family who has supported her throughout her life as well as our family. We truly appreciate it.
