Barbara’s journey on this earth was very unique in so many ways. The uconditional love she spread to her family and any child that passed by her door, her simple pioneer life, cooking, gardening, canning, feeding the crowd, carrying burdens for anyone who was in trouble or in need, the list goes on and on. She was a beauitful christian woman. I look foward to seeing her “Special” crown. May God give comfort to her beloved family as they struggle to adjust to life on earth without her.
