It is with heavy heart that we read of the loss of beautiful Barbara. We have lots of good memories of years gone by having had a fun and loving friendship with Barbara and Joe. The room would light up when Barbara entered wearing her beautiful big smile. There will, without a doubt, be an empty gap in the many places she spread her love with family and friends. Feeling blessed to have had shared a friendship of years gone by.
Blessings, Ed & Bea Uvacek & family
