    Tony, Barb was such a good friend to me. When I saw her, she was always the same, just good ole Barb. I wanted to come to the calling hours, but I had other obligations. Barb has been a part of my life for many years, and I have many good memories. You never had to wonder what was on her mind! Vallerie

    Tony, I am so very sorry for your loss. Barb was a good friend of mine. We grew up next door to each other and spent many hours bicycling, playing barbies and just talking. She was fun, loyal and always had my back. We weren't as close as we got older but whenever we saw each other it was always just like old times. I loved her and will miss her it is just such a shock. Give my condolences to her children & grandchildren,which she loved very much. Illness keeps me from the funeral home. I will keep all of you in my prayers. She was one of a kind. Terry and Randy Roberts

    I was distraught to hear that Barb has passed away. I will always remember all the good times in 4-H, camp and at Shawswick High School. I am sure Barb was and still is one of the Shawswick Sunshine Girls and perhaps one of the first girls to be a member of FFA. I extend my thoughts and prayers to her entire family and those of us as we reflect and remember Barb.

    I was shocked and saddened to hear of Barb's passing. As many others have said, I fondly remember all the good times our families had together...church, 4-H, Farm Bureau. She came to the funeral home less than a month ago to pay her respects to my Mother. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of Barb's family.
