Mike, Jim, Tim, Laura, Chris and extended Family, please accept our deepest condolences to you all for the loss of your Mom, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother. She was always a "cool" Mom and if I remember right made the best roast pork, dumplings and saurkraut! I also remember going with Tim to her work many times at Chicago Chain and Transmission. What a great accomplishment to have raised a great family against all odds after losing your Dad so early on. You are all in our thoughts during this difficult time.

Dear Mike, Jim, Tim, Laura and Chris and extended Brewer family, our deepest condolences for the loss of your Mom, Grandmother and Great Grandmother. She was one of the "cool" Mom's around and made the best roast pork, dumplings and saurkraut back in the day! I also remember going to her work with Tim many times at Chicago Chain and Transmission. What a great accomplishment to have raised a great family after losing your Dad so early on. We are thinking of you all at this difficult time.

I'm hoping all of Barb's kids still remember me, I worked with your mom for 20 years at Chicago Chain until I moved to Vegas! I just found out yesterday that Barb passed away and I was so sad to hear that! At 77 I still think that is too young to go to Heaven! Please except my deepest sympathies to all of you! Jill Houska, Las Vegas
