Thinking of you and your family, Kim. We are so sorry for your tremendous loss. We are sending you lots of hugs and loving thoughts.
We were surprised at the passing of Barb. In all the years of our friendship we considered Barb a close friend. We will miss her and her sense of humor.
Our condolences to the family. Words alone cannot express our heartfelt sympathy for your loss.
Our condolences to Kim, Ryan & Chayo, and all of their family. We are very sad to hear of Barbs passing and are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. May she be at peace.
I have often thought about Barbara. My maiden name is Sonya Zook and in those days we were pretty much always lined up in alphabetical order so we got to know each other well. Of course our lockers were next to each other. We would walk to the Dairy Queen for treats. On my first date with the guy that ultimately became my husband for over 64 years, which was at a bowling alley a guy kept calling me Barbara because we tended to have been together so much. Sadly my husband passed away August 17of this year. My condolences are with Barbs family also. Sonya Lambert
