Guestbook

  1. So very sorry to see this, I worked with Barb at Hill's for over 10 years. Remember the time we were doing inventory and as Barb was counting cans of hair spray they just started falling like domino's we laughed so hard as we were trying to juggle them. She always had a smile and kind word I know she will be missed. My deepest sympathy.

  2. Barb and I were friends since high school. I will dearly miss her. I will always remember the good times we had together. May she rest in peace.

  3. Ed and I graduated from MMHS with Barb. It was so good to reconnect with her at the summer picnics our class of '64 has been having. Our sympathy goes out to all her family. We will miss her warm smile.
