I was so blessed to meet Barbara probably twenty years ago. She was always a joy to be around, always with such a positive Christian outlook. I was always amazed about her point of view,, especially when things went wrong with her life. She will be sorely missed. Rest in peace, dear friend. Love, Bonnie Siefert

Susan you were so good to Barbara in her final years. I don't know WHAT she would have done without you. Barbara was so kind to everyone. She'd always give of herself to help others. She was my best friend and she will truly be missed.

Mom you were the best mom I could ever had asked for. I was so happy that I was able to keep you at home instead of going to a nursing home. You took care of me and now it was my turn to take care of you. I will always love you. I know you are definitely in heaven with dad. I love you mom.
