To the family of Barb, We are so saddened to hear of your loss. Barb was always friendly and kind when we saw her, even though it was not often. She'd always wave when we saw each other working at St. Elizabeth 's Hospital. Loss is always difficult, take care.

We (Roger, Matt, and I) are so saddened for the loss of your mother and sister. I have so many good memories of Barb as my older cousin. The birthday parties, Christmas, and all major holidays were always a lot of fun. Barb always had a smile and was a very happy person and fun to be around. We wish we could be present at the funeral but distance and time prevent that from happening. Just know that Barb will always be remembered in our hearts and in our prayers for time to come.
