Aunt Barb was one of the most caring people I've ever known. She was there for me and prayed for me during the hardest point of my life. I will always remember that, along with many years of wonderful memories. I will miss her.
You have our deepest sympathy for the lost of a lovely lady. Barb is a part of our Buttonwood family. Sadness is in our hearts. Barb will be missed. Remember all the wonderful times you shared.
