Barb was more than just a friend to me and my family, she was family!! No matter how things may have looked to you, Barb found a way to make you see things in a positive light. She had a bubbly personality and she touched all who knew and loved her. She was a great listener and assisted me in solving various problems. I will be forever thankful to have been given the opportunity to be a part of her life!! I loved her and will forever keep her in my thoughts! Barb, I will miss you! It is difficult for me right now but I know the thoughts I have of you will bring me to a positive light!! You made a difference in my life and in the lives of my children and for that we thank you! Rest in peace and we shall see you again!!
Barb was the most AMAZING lady and INCREDIBLE sister. She was the Peace Maker, trying to keep us all together as family. Her laughter was contagious and a smile that made you feel Special. Cody, her nephew in Michigan said, She gave the Best Hugs Ever!! She will ALWAYS be in our thoughts and hearts.
