    We are so sorry for your loss. I loved Barb like my own mother! She was an amazing lady! I look back at the great memories of her as we were growing up . She treated me as if i were her own daughter. (I think she might have even grounded me a few times) My thoughts and prayers are with both of you ! I love you!

    Jeannie, she was a super lady and I was honored to place her in my prayer groups. It was clearly God’s wish to join Him in glory. Prayers to your family for comfort and peace.
