    Barb was the life of Jack's Lounge when she would sing. My brother Kevin commented several times how she was one of his favorites. It saddens me deeply to learn of her loss. Rest in peace sweet lady.

    I have known Barb since I was a young child. My dad would take me to Jack's to eat; Barb was good friends with my dad. When you get to heaven, sweet Barb, tell my dad hello and give him a big hug for me. I will miss seeing you at the store .
