Mike, John and family, we send our deepest sympathies to all of you. Barb was the best “roommate” ever at WVHL with my Mother. Together those two shared many laughs and did an amazing job of looking out for each other. We only knew Barb for the 14 months Mom was there but we loved her dearly. She was an amazing lady, loved by all who knew her and cared for her. God be with you all at this time.

John, Mike and family I’m so sorry for your loss. Your mom always smiled and I have to tell you your dad and het were my favorite Sunday school teachers back at Moreland United Methodist. I was just talked remembering them on Sunday when I was sharing with some friends how we memorized the books of the Bible when I was growing up. Your parents were the ones that taught my class. I also remember she loved the song. His Banner Over Me is Love. Over the years when I ran into Bunny she was always so kind happy and loving. She was a wonderful lady. I have wonderful memories of your mom. She will be missed.
Mike and Family
So sorry to hear of Barb passing. She is now at peace. Remembering all the memories will keep her in your heart always.
