I met Barbara many, many years ago when she was employed Sears. She worked in the parts department when we met . She always was an excellent employee who really handled my requests with speed and quick delivery. When her son Charles married my good friends daughter, we would meet at holiday functions and enjoy memories, especially when we talked in Casino language. I am certain, she is with our God with no more pain and suffering. She probably is sitting w fellow Casino players and has a jackpot machine. Barb , save us a seat!
God Bless You!
Mr. P

Barb had a real zeal for life and a witty and sometimes sarcastic sense of humor that made you laugh. I recall her 1st comment to me, "Look what stray creature Charlie brought home now!" She was a warm-loving & caring person who is now at a fantastic reunion with her loved ones! God Bless
