Robert and family,
I am so very sorry to learn of Barbara’s passing.
I will miss her beep and wave as she drove by and when she would stop on her way to the gym when I was out walking. We had some good laughs! It was a great way to start the day…a good laugh with Barbara!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Rest in peace, Barbara.

I just wanted to say how much fun my friend Donna Corbett and I had with Barb. We all went to the gym downtown and that is how Donna and I met Barb. Instead of working out some days we would lay on the weight benches and laugh. She will be missed.
