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.
