I will truly miss my cousin Barb. We had so much fun playing as kids and she had remained a true friend ever since. She came fo a visit several times and was also great with her comments on Facebook. I love her so much and she will be in my memories forever.
Enjoy your new Life.
Sending love n prayers to family. Barb was such a vivacious energetic n beautiful lady. Will always be in our prayers.
I’m sorry to see that Barb has passed away. I worked with her at UPS many years ago. We became friends over our time at the big brown. We shared many a beer and a few great parties together with the rest of the crew. Sadly after she left UPS I lost track of her. I did have a chance encounter with her about 25 years ago when she was showing the house next door to mine. I hope that her life was happy and rich and that she has found peace at last. Please accept my condolences. Thomas Yasaitis Janesville WI.
