Love, Mike & Barb
My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Much love sent.
Barbara was one of the kindest people you you could know. She loved her family dearly especially those grands. She and I loved our shopping trips to Dillards that was pretty often but as her health declined we didn’t get to do that very often but I did visit with her weekly. Rest in Peace my dear friend and you will be missed.
We love y’all,
The Bordens
I have very fond mermories of hanging out with Renee at the Stewart’s house in my young teenage years. Jo and Barbara always made me feel loved. When I think of Barbara, I always see her in her kitchen with a smile on her face where we had good conversations, laughter, great sandwiches and Shasta to drink. She was a smart, kind and a wonderful lady that cared so much for others, and she was always so good to me. I loved her very much! My deepest sympathies. May Barbara rest in peace.
You have my heartfelt sympathy in the loss of this great lady! I’ve never known a more supportive Mom than she appeared to be for you in all your amazing endeavors and accomplishments during your young years. Sadly, I don’t believe I ever knew your siblings or Barbara’s other close relatives. With prayers for you and the entire loving family.
