    Dear Dave, Mike, Laura, & Family,

    Tim and I are incredibly saddened by the death of Barb, a beautiful, vibrant, kind, courageous & strong woman. Barb’s gracious style & infectious smile was seen & felt even last night as one more star illuminated the wide Kansas sky.

    Dave, your devotion and love for Barb over the last few months and the 47 years will be her wings in heaven. We won’t be able to give you hugs because we will be in Dallas with our kids this week.

    Angels are everywhere!

    Dear Laura, Mike, Ian & Connor; Dave and Mike,

    Barb was a very special person with those sparkling eyes.
    Mother, mother-in-law, Grammy, and Wife.
    Some how I know she is with Memaw and others.

    She will be missed here on earth,
    but always remembered deeply in our hearts.

    Blessings and Love
    Pam/Nana
