Barbra took care of three of our dogs while we were gone for two weeks. Picked up our Mail.
I’d notice the cat gang going to her house at about the same time every day or night. Such a loving woman.
I was going to go talk with her two weeks ago, but couldn’t walk that far due to pain.
Barbra was one of the I could go to to get information as far as electricians, and different trades. I hold Barbra up on a very special pedestal. She’s done more for each of us in this neighborhood than she ever knew.
I place Barbra upon with the honors list of fantastic people who give and give with out wanting the notoriety nor payment.
I thank God for placing Barbra into our lives.and inviting us to her church.
Such another inspiration gone from us but living in no pain and dining at the most beautiful table ever set.
Barbra, I’ll miss you and no matter what will alway hold a very special place in my heart for you.
Barbra, you were my third mom, always coming up with the right words to help those in need. One tough exterior and one of the most loving examples of what Gods love is and what it will be forever. Fair winds and follow seas my friend.
I will always remember the wonderful Barbie Doll clothes that Barbara made. We would go to her home and we would purchase them. It was a very special treat for us. She was always so kind. And that is a memory that I’ve always cherished.
