Kaye and I loved Barbara and Stan, we were golfing partners at the Governors Club for several years. She will be remembered and I sure she passed with a smile on her face as she knew she was going home and was at peace with GOD. Sorry we missed the farewell.
You were the absolute best Grandmom I could’ve ever asked for! I miss the times we had playing hide and seek upstairs with you and Granddad. When we would spend the night we would wake up to you and Granddad playing scrabble every morning in the living room. You would always make the best Holiday meals for the family going above and beyond to make everyone so happy. I always loved playing Scrabble with you and that’s something I’ll never forget. You would teach me so many words and I’m still convinced you’re the best Scrabble player in the world. The times I had with you shaped my childhood and I will cherish them for the rest of my life. I love you with all my heart Grandmom! Give Sterling a big hug and a kiss for Jewels and I! We love you!
From Stan
My precious, beautiful, generous, kind and intelligent Barbara. We had such wonderful times together that I will always cherish. You meant the world to me. My life will never be the same. With all my love, Stan
Over the years, we have had so much fun. I have enjoyed every minute with you. You always made everyone laugh and feel so special. I could not have asked for a better mother-in-law and friend. You are absolutely beautiful. I cherish all the memories. I miss you and love you! Cheryl
From Judy Richmond - Oh my dear friend Barbara: I remember the first time we met at a get together for legal secretary's party, and we became instant friends. You had a great personality and were beautiful. I will hold those good times in my heart forever. We were like sisters, and I loved you like a sister and I still do. I know you are in a better place now and I know someone very special is watching over you now but losing you has left a terrible void in my heart. Hopefully, I will get to be up there with you again and we can have fun and laugh forever. Love you, precious friend, :rose::pray::skin-tone-2::heart: Judy Richmond
I worked with Barbara at Neal & Harwell and she was delightful. There was never a dull moment around her. She was not only a great legal assistant, Barbara was also a lady you were glad to call friend. As stated, she was a beautiful person inside and out and radiated kindness. Barbara will be missed here on earth but left a lot of wonderful memories and, we who are believers will see her again in heaven! We are thankful for such lovely and, at times, funny memories! My heartfelt sympathy to Stan and the rest of the family.
