Please accept our most sincere condolences. We have known Barb (and Bert) for many years and have some great memories with both of them. I am so glad to have gotten to see Barb and give her a great big hug a couple of weeks ago.
Our sincere condolences to Barb’s family. We had a lot of fun over the years working with Barb and Bert and travelling around the countryside. Never a dull moment. She introduced me to putting olives on hotdogs and hamburgers – yum! She always talked about her daughter and granddaughter with pride! I will miss her greatly and sorry I didn’t connect with her in the last couple of months. Brenda and Bruce Miner
