Just wanted to say how sorry I am for your family’s loss of Barbara…she sounded to be a bright,spirited person whom loved life. Please know that God cares for your whole family at this sad sad time. Rev 21:4 promises a time when there will be no more sadness, mourning or death. Until that time, many thoughts and prayers for all who mourn Barbara. Hoping this video brings you a measure of peace.

Stan and family – Paul and I were very sad to learn of Barbara’s passing. When last we were up north and all together she was as bright-eyed and witty as ever. The conversation was easy, the laughs many. Although we will not be able to be with you this week, we will remember Barbara – and your family – in our daily prayers.

Our deepest condolences. I was heartbroken to hear of Barbara’s passing. Barbara was a big part of my life from childhood to present. I have many great memories of many family gatherings, the beach, cookouts and Christmas Eves. She was wonderful to me and always there for me…. Especially when my father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and eventually passed. You will be missed. Rest In Peace, Barbara, your in good company.

Sorry for your family’s loss. I worked for Barbara many years ago at the IRS and you always knew where you stood with her. She was tough but fair to us and always made us laugh. Barbara was the type who said it like it was and that was one of her best qualities. Rest in peace Barbara
