My deepest sympathy to all of Barb's family and friends. Although I know she is in A,better place and now,has no pain and discomfort. I thought so much of her. She did hair for our Resident's at Grays. She was always serving wherever she could. I had the experience of working blood mobile with her. Most of all we will have an empty chair at McDonalds for morning coffer. She loved the socialization with all of us. I'm sorry to be out of state so won't be able to be there. But I will be there in spirit . R.I.P. BARB
