Barbara will be sadly missed by me, as well as all the parishioners here at St. Brigid. She was a warm, pleasant, faithfulled, generous woman who lit up the church with her volunteerism in many, many church projects. I think of her and smile knowing she will now have eternal life with God.

So sorry to read about Barb’s passing. We worked together at the welfare office for the entire time that Barb worked there. She was always great to work with. Although we didn’t see each other often since she retired, it was always enjoyable when we did. I’m sure she will be greatly missed by her family.
So sorry for you loss. I was her lifeguard at the Y for her water aerobics class. She always had a wonderful smile each morning. God Bless.
We are so sorry about Barb’s passing. We spent a lot of time together when Mom was sick and we cherish that time very much. Barb will be missed a lot.

We are so sorry for your loss, worked with Barb for years and she was also a wonderful next door neighbor, she will be greatly missed
I was so sorry to hear that Barb had passed away. My thoughts and prayers go out to you. Barb was such a dear friend of my mom’s and they loved doing their water aerobics, going on Anderson trips, and most of all they loved laughing. Whenever I was with the two of them that’s all they did – laugh. One would start and then they couldn’t stop. My mom passed away last year and I like to think they’re both together in heaven laughing right now.
Our hearts are saddened with a loss of such a sweet giving wonderful lady. May you all know how much you are loved and this life and next. I am so sorry for this loss in your life. Saying a prayer for you and for Barb to hear. Much love to all of you. May God lift your spirits in knowing she is walking with Him now.
Mama Z. I will cherish the memories we shared together. You were a beautiful loving woman who kept giving and giving. You have left behind precious memories and a legacy that will carry on for eternity. Thank You for sharing your life with me and for giving me the greatest friend anyone could ever wish for . Davey
You will always be in my prayers
