    Grandma, I am beyond lost. I haven’t stopped crying since I received the news, you were the rock of the family, the strongest person in the family. I am going to ask to name my soon to be son after you & dad, I wish I could take your place. Grandma, I miss you & I love you.

    Barb was such a delightful friend and I am so sorry to hear of her passing. We shared many good times while we were both on staff at the FCPL. Barb and I had many good conversations over coffee while discussing our faith and the latest books we had read, I will miss my friend!

    For Barbara’s family,

    I was sorry to read Barb had passed away. I worked with her briefly at Spiegle Catalog from May until July 1975. I loved Barb she was so sweet. She was my shining light everyday. Barb was so patient and kind as I was learning my job. I have thought of her often over the years….it would always bring a smile to my lips. I will be out of town on Saturday, but please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I know you are going to miss my sweet, sweet mentor. Take Care. Jenny
