I always loved Barb’s sense of humor. She would brighten my day on the regular with her funny quips.
Christine my childhood best friend. I am sending my love and prayers. Mom was my 2nd mother. When I ran away from home she opened her arms and love to me lol! Even over the years she stayed on me, by sending me encouraging words and messages through Facebook. She will greatly missed but never forgotten! Love you
We are saddened by the news of Barb’s passing. She was a kind and friendly next door neighbour the short time we have been in Lawrence. She has suffered a lot the past few years and Mike has been a wonderful supportive husband. Mike, you and your family have our sympathies.
Denise, I’m so sorry for your loss. You’re family are in our prayers
Meeting Barbara and having her as my neighbor was a special time in my life. She was one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. She was always quiet but thoughtful. We had so many conversations about everything in life, and it was just so pleasant to always share with her.
She was a genuine woman and friend. It was my honor to have known her, Christine, Ben and Michael along with the your family. You have my deepest sympathy in this time.
Barbara (Sony) was my beloved manager for a time. But she was more than a manager, she was a true friend. Anyone would be lucky to have met or worked with her. So sad at her passing but so joyful to know she now experienced true Joy. May many blessings come to her beloved husband (adored you!) and to her family and famiky of friends.
