I remember the first time I met Barbara. We had a wonderful conversation. Bruce, you brought her to our choir practices on many occasions and demonstrated your love for her in so many ways. I am so sorry for your loss. You will be together again one day.
Blessings.

Our deepest condolences to the entire family. She was a wonderfully kind woman.
My initial thoughts of you folks were when we were doing the Riverside parking lot expansion. You would back the car up to the door and Barbara would emerge in her beautiful red coat. Barbara was a stunning woman and carried herself with such grace. You were dedicated to Barbara ensuring that she could be at Riverside as often as she was able. It must have been difficult for you at times. Hold tight to your life together. Hugs and prayers.
With deepest sympathy. Please accept my condolences for your loss. May your memories give you strength and sustain you through this difficult time.
Deepest sympathy Dave and family. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Be good to yourself and take care.
Beth – What a beautiful picture of your mom. Thinking of you and your family and sending much love and hugs. xoxo
Dear Bruce,
We were saddened with the news of Barbara’s passing. She was a great lady and we’ll always remember those wonderful times we spent together at Pen Lake. Please convey our condolences to the family, as we are not able to attend the funeral. Nevertheless, our thoughts are with you at this difficult time. It was great to speak with you at Dorothy’s service….
Warmest regards – Brian & Anke
I was saddened to learn of Barbara’s passing. Thoughts and prayers to all of her loving family to help them through this time of sorrow. A heart broken does not really mend, it just learns to function without the missing piece. All my love to your family.
Dave & Sue – sending love to you and your family at this difficult time. Anything you need, your ‘work family’ is here for you.
Barb will always be a sweet person in our memories. Her positive outlook was an inspiration, and her moral support in time of need will always be in our hearts. Dave & Vera
Brenda and I are very sorry to hear of Barb’s passing. Our thoughts are with you.
