I used to work at West View, and Barbara was one of my favorites. She had a great personality , and she loved to joke around and laugh a lot. She often talked about growing up in Moreland on the farm . I will miss her, she was a sweet and special woman .
Brenda, Ron and Melissa-I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Barb. It has been many years since I have seen Barb. She was always so nice and remembered things from our childhood-why my Grandma Anna Mae Franks and her Grandma Grace Hoffman were still loving. Our grandmothers were sister. RIP.
I had worked several years at Horns N.H. with Barara Jean and she was a joy to work with. I was also able to visit her at Westview and we spent quite a bit of time “talking about our time working at Horns. Prayers for peace and comfort to you all.
Brenda,My Deepest condolences in the loss of your sister. My heart is with you and your family. I am out of town or I would have been there. Hugs og comfort, prayers of companion. Your friend,Sue
