Aunt Barb was always so kind to me and told me often how happy she was to see Shawn happy. I enjoyed getting to know her and Keith at the family reunions and at our breakfasts meets during our Davenport visits.

I am thankful that I, my wife Charlene and my sons Matt and Shawn were able to have a relationship with Barb and Keith at our Herrin family reunion for several years. Aunt Barb was a warm light to have near, her laughter was contagious. Barb, God bless you and rest in peace. We love you.

Barb and Keith were one really beautiful couple. I will always remember the laughter and Barb's ready smile. She was always so immaculately put together and so very pretty. Whenever we ran into each other, I could always count on a big hug. When my daughter was born, Barb was one of my first visitors. She and Keith will always hold a special place in my heart. Tanya and Tammy please know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of myself and my siblings. Your parents were always a part of our lives because of my grandparents, Bud and Jane. Many memories and good times. God bless you all.
