    Dear Jim and Family,
    My condolences on Barb’s passing.
    Barb and I worked together for a number of years. We enjoyed a team approach- sharing ideas, reactions, resources and taking courses together.

    Jim and family. Our condolences on the passing of Barb. We certainly will miss her always smiling face and sense of humour. Having known Barb since our working days at Thistletown Hospital in the 60’s, our time with Lion functions, the many parties and other good times and her presence will be missed but the memories will linger on. Barb always enjoyed her work with children and took on the many challenges that went with it. Barb was a caring individual. Unfortunately we meet those challenges in life that we cannot overcome. Our thoughts are with you all.

The many memories of Lions Club events, Lioness cottage crafting weekends and making floats for Lions parades come to mind. Just running into Barb around town brightened up your day.

    Jim, Jim Jr, Jodi, Joe and grandchildren, We are so sad to here of Barb’s passing. Bonnie always appreciated the work ethic, compassion, humor and friendship Barb shared with her in the classroom at Tec South and as a friend. We have fond memories of the many, many dances and get togethers through the Tottenham Lion/Lioness Club. The harshness of her illness is over and now the healing power of her memories will help you all get through this very hard time. No one who knew Barb will forget that big smile from the red head with those freckled cheeks and sparklie eyes. Our thoughts and prayers are with you always. Bonnie and Ken Pratt
