I first met the Blubaugh family in 1971. My daughter Caryn and Barb became best friends and spent many hours playing together. Their friendship continued through high school and college where they were roommates. Caryn was in Barb's wedding and the friendship continued. We are all so saddened by Barb's passing. My family sends their condolence's to her family. She will be fondly remembered by all of us. Love and prayers from the Bresciani family.

I'm so sorry to hear of Barb's passing. I graduated from Mitchell with her. May God bring her family strength during this difficult time, and may your memories of such a beautiful person bring you comfort. My prayers are with you all.

Barb had a great curiousity about "how things work" academically and in her profession. She didn't accept things blindly nor was she willing to compromise on matters of importance. Barb had a terrific smile and a contagious laugh. Her love of her daughter Lauren will always endure. We wish Barb peace and tranquility.....Yvonne Paul, Jeff Paul
