Cathy, thank you for all the updates. Barb was an inspiration to us all with the grace and strength she showed in managing her illness. She was amazing!

Thank you, Cathy, for all your beautifully written journal entries and being there for Barb and Dick. Thanks also for sharing pictures. I am glad she was able to enjoy time with family on July 19th. I am praying for Dick, Jeff, and Scott and all of her family.

My condolences to all who loved Barb. Especially her Sons and husband Dick. I love the pictures that were shared. Barbs spirit shines strong through her her shell of a body. The sun through the tree-so beautiful. I felt a sense of the love and care of the family and friends as well as capturing the presence of God's light. Thank you for sharing the words and photos. Be well

Rest in the peace you found and lived, Barb. We are keeping Dick, Jeff, Scott, you and your sisters, Cathy, in our prayers. Barb’s continuing love will hold you close until you are together again. Thank you for sharing Barb’s grace filled final journey home.
Love, Jim and Michele
