Recollections & Sympathy For the Family
Post Comment
To Russell, Jeff and Susan, Barbara was one of the dearest women I’ve had the pleasure to meet. She was also the mom of one of my favorite people I think of her often and send my prayers and love to all of you. Her strength and honesty coupled with a very sweet nature, made her a super mom. To say that she will be missed as an understatement. She will be remembered with love and respect. God bless you and keep you in his loving arms.
