Not sure what it was but I am thinking of you tonight and just wanted to say hi. You have been on my mind all these years and I still remember when you watched me and Austin and we went to a Star Wars exhibit at the mall and went to see a movie (must be 30+ years ago now). Regardless, I miss you Barb. God bless, and I can’t wait to hug you again someday.

Jill and family--so sorry for your loss. Your mom was such a strong and positive spirit. I enjoyed visiting with her and feel honored to have had the opportunity to know her. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To Kevin and Jill with my closest tie Elizabeth: I don't know if I coulldpossibly express how much Barb influenced my life until the end or what I like to call, the beginning. Barb was crucial and caring in my journey through the path I am headed. I truly believe she was my cheerleader never doubting or giving up on me. I cannot express my hurt or love for your family in words but Barb changed me for the the better and I will miss her. Sincerest love Carrie

Little did I know that a lady who I had met in the late 1950's would be the same lady who would hire me as her gardener. Can't say how lucky I was to get to know her over the past years as I came to tend the gardens. With that always came a friendly visit with this wonderful woman. Barb was always upbeat no matter what. She always had time to visit and be supportive of anything happening in my life. I also knew her as one of the most strong, positive, determined women I have ever met. Barb, you will forever be in my heart. Sincerely, Cheryl

Barb became a friend the day she moved next door to me. We had great times together sharing, laughing and just enjoying each other. She taught me that no matter how bad things were it was going to be ok. her love and how proud she was of her family was in so many of our conversations. I will miss her so much but I will never forget her. to all of her family that she loved so much , you have my sympathy and prayers. Margaret

I am sorry for your loss. I worked with Barb a couple of tax seasons at TLS and she was always a positive person to be around.

Barb-I hoped you realized the impact that you made on me both professional and personally. I was ready to walk away from floor nursing and caring for you just made me realize why I love bedside nursing. Even when you were at your sickest, you brought such peace and joy to all who cared for you. You loving spirit will be missed on 3 center and in my heart. God bless you and god bless your loving daughter Jill. Jill, you as well have made tremendous impact on my life and I know, after meeting your mom, where your loving spirit came from. Know in your heart your mom is raising a little hell in heaven! Can't wait to meet up with her again someday. Terri Lukaszewicz

our friendship turned into a bond that I will cherish forever Barb will always be in my heart I love and will truly miss her-Marlene Our deepest sympathy Mike and Marlene Riley

Your smile.....always there Your love of life will carry on through your daughter and extended family Learned a lot from you about how to make a birthday SPECIAL You will be missed and ALWAYS loved.

We never expected to go to a family gathering at K Morg and Jill's without Grandma Barb. The smile and hug and entertaining conversation is something we will cherish forever.... one regret.... she turned my husband on to watching Shark Tank and now he is hooked! So many blessings to remember but our hearts ache with yours. Love you all!

Barb, You so wonderful to work with!! Miss the TLS days and all the fun and adventures we had. Please rest in peace and you will always be remembered!!! Love ya! Sharon Warden

Rest in peace, Barb. It won't be the same without you around. I think I knew your phone number before I knew my own. Thanks for introducing me to coffee, though I don't put as much cream and sugar in at as you first taught me. You are the most positive person I ever met, and I hope to face life with as much joy as you did. Love you and miss you.

Barb was truly beautiful, inside and out. She was always there when I needed a shoulder or a hug. I have warm, wonderful memories of family dinners and Christmases (even in July), and just chatting on the phone. She was cheerful and positive, even when her health wasn't the best. She loved her family so much and showed it in every way. She will live forever in the hearts of those who love her. I miss her so much.

Well said. Thinking of all of you . Barb has a rich legacy in her family. Mary McCarthy
