What a great lady! So many great memories of her and the Bear❤
so very sorry for the loss of a wonderful lady…will miss our great phone conversations.
Vince, I know your mom more than 35 years. A gracious woman who always welcomed me in her home. May her memories be a blessing and comfort. And me she rest in peace and enjoy eternity with your wonderful dad. Love to the family.
My sincere condolences on your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Barb at PCO for the year before her retirement. Barb always had a smile or a quip for everyone, and she was someone who took the time to teach “newbies” like myself the ins and outs of how things worked at PCO. It was always a fun occasion to see her when she visited after her retirement. She could light up a room just by walking into it! Barb was a special lady, and I hope your memories of your mom and grandmother will bring you peace – and laughter. I will keep you all in my prayers.
So sorry for your loss. Your mother was my neighbor for 10 years. I will truly miss her. Joyce Huisenga.
