My fondest memories of Barb are the uncanny way she had of stopping a baby from crying, The baby could be crying all night and it was like they stopped as soon as she picked them up. She never met anyone she didn't know or couldn't strike up a conversation with. She made sure all her babies and others babies were happy. I think she was always there for everyones delivery and if you couldn't find her you could always find her holding a baby in another room. You will be missed my friend but never forgotten. The memories live on in everyone that knew you.
