Sending my sympathy to Barbara’s family. I was her accompanist on several occasions and a student of her mother,Carol, at Westminster . Barbara left a lasting impression on me for her sweet spirit and delightful sense of humor. May she Rest In Peace.

Dear Pastor John, I am so sorry for your great loss. Your whole family is in my prayers. May you feel the presence of Jesus, His love and comfort - as Barbara does now. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon her.

Although I have only known Barb for a short while, she touched my life in a tremendous way. Barb was grace, strength, courage, love, gentleness, mercy, wisdom, and beauty all in one!! She would speak truth to me even if it was difficult. Barb set an example of a true Christian wife and mother everyday. I will greatly miss our long conversations, her smile, and especially her laugh. I find comfort knowing she is home with Jesus, and I look forward to seeing her again someday. My heartfelt condolences to John and their children and grandchildren. May all your wonderful memories carry you through each day!

Mrs. Barbara we are so going to miss you. Going to miss talking to you over the fence. Going to miss your smile. The girls are going to miss you sneaking them sodas when they were on the trampoline. From day one, we loved having you and Mr. John as our neighbors. Not too many people you can say that about. You both have a special place in our hearts. Prayers to the family! Love you forever! May you Rest In Peace! ❤️
