Barb was one of my favorite people and was like a mother to me. I’m so very thankful I got to see you recently. I will miss you dearly. Keep smiling down on us. ❤️
So sorry to hear of Barbs passing, She was my Library friend.I loved talking to her about books she had read. When she wasn’t there I would always as about her. She was a kind, compassionate, Lovely Lady. She will be missed. She is now resting in the arms of Our Lord. A life well lived my friend.
Sending deepest sympathy to Tom and family. Barb was one of the sweetest women I have ever known. We worked together at Dr. Murphy’s Office for five years. We had a a lot of fun and continued to meet for lunches with another co-worker long after we worked together. It makes me feel so sad to know that Barb is gone. She was a gem!
Barb was such a bright spirit..always loved running into her because she made your day better having seen and talked with her. I met her when she worked at Dr. Murphys office on Market Street and than always loved seeing her at the library. I heard about her love of glitter..no doubt she found a job dusting the wings of the angels with His heavenly glitter…right after He applied them to hers. She earned those wings and a place with her Creator. My Sympathy in your loss…and condolences to all of her family whom she loved so deeply and so well.
Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your wife Tom. I remember Barb so well when I was in High School. Truly a finDae person.
TOM & FAMILY, SO SORRY TO HEAR OF YOUR LOSS. PLEASE ACCEPT OUR CONDOLENCES.
Tom, Stephanie, Nicky and family, We are so sorry to hear the news of Barbs passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. So glad we ran into you both a few months ago when visiting family in Warren. Our deepest condolences.
