HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN BARBIE...
I miss you so much everyday but especially on your birthday since you and I have always celebrated our birthdays together. Yours is the 1st of Oct. and mine on the 4th but we always celebrated them as one. It seems so empty without you. I miss your sweet smile and your loving attitude towards everyone. You were never judgemental and always seem to understand the pain others had. You were my idol ever since I was a little girl and I always wanted to be like you....BUT... I can never fill your shoes. Thank you for being the best big sister in the world. It won't be long before we can be together again and I can be your pain in the backside little sister again. LOL I love you and know you are having a great birthday party in heaven and eating Angel food cake with Mom and Richie and Billy and of course, Jesus. HAPPY 83RD. BIRTHDAY BARBIE!!!!! Love, your little sister, Dotty.

I just learned of Barb’s passing. A very loving and caring individual. Was most lovingly referred to as “the Baby Lady” at St. Cecilia by those whose children she lovingly babysat or entertained. May she rest in the arms of our loving Father. “RIP Barb“ Much love...

I was very fortunate to be Miss Barb's nurse for a while. She moved from where I was working and I knew that she was very special and I wanted to be friends. She and I kept in touch from time to time, I took her out for lunch one afternoon and had a blast. We had such a great time, laughed and shared stories. What an amazing woman I thought to myself...and now I realize what an amazing angel she was on this earth. The Lord blessed us all with her kind spirit and smile. May she rest in peace...to Barb's family, may you feel at ease to know that she is surely at God's side and smiling down at us...you are all in my prayers. God bless you, and be well ;)

The little girl in the wheelchair in the babysitting picture is my sister Connie Short. Barb was a wonderful caregiver to her - from her special pancakes to the hair bows, to the trips to Friendly's down the street. Connie still talks about her to this day! My family will always remember her fondly. Heaven received a wonderful angel. Continued prayers to the family.

Made the Last few months of my brothers life a joy . Made my family feel like we were part of hers . What a wonderful lady . Angle on earth now in heaven .
