Barb was such a delight to know. I like how you always took her out for pie on Saturday afternoon and sometimes you even brought back a piece for me. Her sweet smile will be missed. Carole Steigenga

Gramma was a wonderful grandmother. I can still hear her laughing at something ridiculous I said and see that twinkle in her eyes. I have so many fantastic memories of her that I will cherish forever. I love you gramma. XOXO
