So sorry Ron for your loss. I always enjoyed visiting with Aunt Barbara. I pray God will comfort you at this time. Jerry & Shirley Polk
Ron and family,My deepest sympathy. Our family thought the world of your family and especially your mother, Barb. She and our mother, Betty Jo Rickey Harned, were very close friends and played soft ball together, which I still have a copy of the picture of them in their ball uniforms.When I was young and not feeling well your mother told me one of her stories about the Happy Little Christmas Tree.The last time I saw your mother was when she came to our mother's funeral. You should feel comfort knowing she was quite a lovely unique person, who was very well liked.Cherish the beautiful memories.Kathie Rickey Osborn

Our family has some of Barbara's poems, which we have thoroughly enjoyed. Very talented and perceptive person. So sorry to hear of her passing. Prayers for the family.
