So many memories keep flooding in of Barb. I lived right around the corner and have been best friends with Amy since we were very small. Barb was a big part of my life growing up. I loved her calm and regal composure. She was truly a lady. Completely organized and unflappable. I was in awe of her - and when I saw her recently I still was! A small but strong person. She raised three amazing kids. I'm so glad I got to share experiences with her family - all the milestones of preschool, elementary, and high school, then marriage and kids. Her eyes lit up when she talked of her grandkids.
"Love is the voice under all silences, the hope which has no opposite in fear; the strength so strong mere force is feebleness: the truth more first than sun, more last than star."
— E.E. Cummings
My parents and I send much love to Barb's family today and honor her memory. Heather Drennan and family

Molly, Amy, Brian and family: I had the privilege of working with Barb for over 25 years at Mercy. Your mom was a bright, conscientious and caring person and the quiet rock behind the scenes in making the Sedlacek Treatment Center a superb community resource. She helped so many patients and their families regain their life and focus and was so dedicated and self-less in sharing her time and talents. We were all fortunate to have known her. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your sadness. jim tinker

Dear Molly, Amy & Brian & families-
What a privilege to have Barb as a such a good friend and special neighbor for so many years. She was so proud of her children and your families that her eyes would light up in talking about your new and exciting adventures.
She was a model for us on parenting and administering to the bumps and bruises along the way with her calm and soothing demeanor. We will miss her and the contributions she has made to our family and her service to her friends and community.
We extend our sincere sympathy,
Nancy and Wes Merryman

Molly, Brian, Amy and others in Barb's family, We were shocked to see this news. Barbara had been our client at our Pak Mail store for a long time. You are all in our data base from times when she sent things to you. Though she was not in frequently, we are about the same age and I always enjoyed visiting with her when she came in. You have our sincere sympathy.

We were only privileged to meet Barbara twice, but saw what a lovely person she was. We know her from the wonderful, caring daughter-in-law she gave us and the exceptional grandchildren that are a constant joy in our lives. May the peace of the Lord be with Barb and her family.

To Molly, Amy, and Brian: It was my privilege to be part of the Sedlacek Treatment Center team with Barb for six years. Barb was a quiet "behind the scenes" team member who the rest of us could always count on. I'm sure that if director Bill Marsh were still with us, he would sing her praises as his longtime administrative assistant. I will carry fond memories of your mother. Sincerely, Dennis Gallagher

Dear Molly, Amy and Brian. I was sorry to hear of your mom's passing. Sharron Grundy called me Saturday to let me know. My love and thoughts and prayers are with you.
I worked with your mom at the Sedlacek Treatment Center for many years. I remember when she came on board as our first "secretary," and how soon her role grew to administrative assistant. She was an excellent resource, I know that! Did she ever tell you about the DISC profiles that we all did, and that she was a "concrete" thinker? Yes, I've many memories, all of them positive when I think of her.
Do take care, and know that I'm thinking of you.
Warmly, Mary Ramsden
