Barb and I went to Junior high and
High School together. We were very good friends and stayed very good friends for many years until the busyness of life takes over. I saw her last in February at Marilyn's funeral. I will miss her but I have many happy memories.
You will be missed my friend.

I can't imagine life without my dear, dear friend. We shared so many fun times that will always be cherished. I only wish there had been more time to share many more. I know you're in heaven now, no more pain and knowing you, organizing fun things, cooking up a storm, and seeing and greeting everyone you see, going here and there, hopping from one cloud to another! Always the adventurer! I love you dear friend and I know that some day we will share new "heavenly" adventures together.

There will be an empty space every time the coffee girls get together without her. I will always remember, Black Velvet, half coke, have soda tall and hopefully the bartender will not make it wrong. She is strong willed, and did what was needed for her family. My memories are endless. I only saw her 1 time without make up and her hair fixed in the 30 years plus I have known her. And yes I did bring it to her attention (LOL). Barb, now that your up in heaven, since you will not be getting the meal that is not cooked right in our outings. Make sure it goes to Orton and not me. Love you Barb, your memory will always bring me a smile.
