I remember Ms. Lothrop well from the time she spent at CarePartners Rehabilitation Hospital. She was a courageous lady, and I’ll always hold fond memories of her.
It is with sadness that I read Barb’s obituary in our paper this morning. I feel out of touch with her dear family…..will Tom, Mary or John write, or phone me? I send deepest sympathy. Cynthia
Barb was a dear friend who was always thinking of others she will be dearly missed by alot of people and anyone who ever met her.We only knew eachother a few years but became close and she had a huge impact on me and my family and i hope i did the same
I only knew Barb a few years but she made me feel as if we had known eachother forever. She was such a sweet lady with a great sense of humor, and I will always cherish the time and memories we shared together. I don’t think there was ever a secret we kept from eachother and I feel very priviliged to say she was my friend. Heaven has truely gained another angel! May God’s grace shine upon her family.
I have loving memories of Barb and her beloved Tad. They befriended me when I moved to Hilton Head and became like family. There was nothing Barb wouldn’t do for you. Her spirit was always soaring, full of love and always projects to do. Which she did always complete. My heart goes out to Tom. You know how much she loved you. She will always be in my heart for I will never forget her.
