I am so sorry to hear of Barb's passing. Barb and family are in my thoughts and prayers. She was the sweetest, most kind person I know. We worked together at WPS and spent a lot of time together talking about her grandkids and my kids (they are close in age) and comparing notes about things they were going through in school and with friends etc. Barb was so proud of her kids and grandkids and always had such nice things to say about them. May Barb rest in peace with our Heavenly Father and be free of pain. ♥ Maria Lamboley

Barb was such a cool person. I worked with Barb at WP&L and she was so fun to be around. She loved the movie, Gone With The Wind, and many of us spent the night at her house watching the movie, it was a good time. I miss her. My condolences on her passing.
