My deepest sympathy to the family of Barbara. I just heard of her passing yesterday, or I would have been there. I met Barbara and John here at Mayslake. I found her personality very engaging. Loved her sense of humor. They are at least together, but I will miss her pleasant manners to others. Today is her birthday - so Best Wishes in Heaven Barb! - Nancy Westman-Oak Brook, IL

Dear Laura, John, Kate and Michael and to all of Barbara's family, our deepest condolences. She was the first one among us to start a family of her own, showing us the way to happiness. From a young women, she became a part of the community and showed the way to even greater fulfillment. She was interested in people making her the finest Christian I've ever known. I will miss for all the years to come. Very sorry for your loss. Love, Debbie McLenaghan, and Family.
