My sincere condolences for the loss of your sister Barbara.
I have many fond memories of Barb growing up on the farm. How we spent the night in the hay loft eating our chunk chocolate bar. Drinking her mom's homemade rootbeer. Making clay dishes down by the river and the many bike rides over to visit her bestie Mary Ellen. All the fun times that I shall cherish forever.
May all your cherished memories give comfort to your heart.
Take care and God Bless you all.
Barb will be missed by everyone who knew her. It has been a long time since we crossed paths but I will always remember her kindness. Her place was a favorite hangout spot for us and Barb was a big reason for that. She always made sure we were comfortable and well fed and I will be forever grateful for having known her.
Erik, very sorry to hear of Barb's passing. I remember Barb as a kind person who always ensured you and your friends were well taken care of, and always smiling! I know she will be greatly missed. Please pass our condolences on to everyone.
We were saddened to read of Barbs passing. I always enjoyed our interactions while working at KDH.
