We have known Barb for over 30 years and will remember her as a bright, energetic person with a wonderful sense of humor. She was a best friend to my late brother, Ken, always there when he needed someone to talk to. We feel as if a member of the family has been lost. We will miss her.

Barb, you were one in a million and I'm grateful to have known you. You had great empathy and compassion for those that crossed your path. I enjoyed your positive outlook, enthusiasm for life, and wonderful sense of humor. I know you will be watching over all of us as our special guardian angel. You will be missed.

As cousins growing up we had many happy times at Bass Lake with family. We enjoyed our twirling experience with the Jorgenson Rangeretts. You will be missed by family and friends but you will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace with your Mom and Dad now and watch over us. All our love. Sandy Janick

Barb served as a volunteer the years I worked for Hospice. Her sincerity, warmth, caring, and love were most evident in her volunteer service. She was always such a joy to talk to, and so very supportive. My condolences to her family at the loss of such a dear one. Sally McFaul

Barbie, you are now in God's Caring Arms. You were a free spirit who was a beloved "Train Buddy" to Janet and me. We had so much fun traveling to Chicago. You were our kids' "Auntie Barb," and a very special friend to Bernie & me. We Love You and Miss You. Please watch over us, you are an Angel now. Godspeed.

May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, may the rain fall soft upon your fields, the sun shine warm upon your face and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hands. You will be missed my dear Friend!

Love,

I will miss you old friend, there will aways be a hole in my heart but a smile on my face when I think of you. Your smile could light up a room, your laughter was contagious, your heart only embraced what was good and true and you always gave more than you asked in return.
Enjoy those well deserved angel wings girlie.

There really are no words that could adequately express the heaviness in my heart for your entire family over this loss. Barb was a true gem, with a fabulous spirit. I know that she now flies with angels and swims with dolphins and great of all she is seeing our Lord face to face. Blessings and Peace, Pam
