Aunt Barb will be sorely missed by so many friends, neighbors, and many family members. I have dozens of memories of wonderful times spent on summit street. We sometimes got to share evenings visiting waiting for "the bowlers" to come home friday nights. Then there was cake and games. Pool, shuffleboard, bumper pool.... Barb and Al always enjoyed opening their home and gathering. I'm very grateful for all the memories they fostered. God bless her.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. I remember Mrs Steinbach from church when Chuck and I were confirmed and also when we graduated from Willowbrook . So sorry for your loss and you are in my prayers.
