Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you. May God’s loving arms go around all of you with the loss of your wife, Floyd and your mother Kevin and Robert. It is a very difficult path ahead for you but just know there are many people praying for you. God bless all of you

I just learned of Barbara’s passing. I played with her & her sisters growing up & we all graduated from FSHS together. We have been apart for many years but I still considered her a good friend. The memorial video brought back a lot of happy memories. My thouhts & prayers are with the entire family. God Bless

I wanted you all to know how much we will miss seeing Barbara at the office, always smiling no matter how bad she felt. I know it will be an adjustment for you all going on without her but you can have peace knowing she is now in the arms of Jesus. You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
