I am so honored to have you as my friend. Such a loving and giving person that ALWAYS thought of others first. Whenever someone needed a hand you were there for Everyone. You were there to help me in my time of need without question. You and Josie and I had a lot of fun together and I will always miss that with your laughter and your smile. I have enjoyed all of my time with you. I know the good Lord must of had much better plans for you working with him up there. We all know how greatly you are missed here, but we know that your loving, careing and giving tasks will continue on up there. You are so loved and missed. I am so rich because of having you in my life.

"We only have what we give" and Barb was RICH, and we richer for knowing her. "What we have done for ourselves dies with us; what we have done for others and the world is immortal". Barb will be with us forever. - Michele Parker

My friend, like a sister from another Mister, you are missed,you taught so much, gave so much, and asked for
so little. You were a blessing to work with, think of you always, your buddy Josie Rodriguez.

Barbara was always a great little cousin growing up. What I remember most was traveling to Fowler with our huge bag of candy in Dad's old station wagon. As an adult, I remember her with a big smile on her face and always a kind word and her devotion to her mother. You will be missed!
