So many years but such little time together. Barb loved my mother because she helped Helen with Barbs dad. My sympathy to all of the friends and family.
God Bless

My condolences to the entire family. I knew Barbara at Walmart where I worked in the OTC area of the Pharmacy. I also worked with Nancy Stein as one of my reps until I retired. After that, every time Barb saw me at Walmart she would tell me how Nancy was doing. Barb was a very kind lady. I´ll miss seeing her.
