My deepest sympathies Bruce, Meghan, Amy and family. I have the most fond memories of Barbara - beautiful lady with a beautiful heart. Sending love and prayers.
My deepest condolences to Barb's beloved family. She was an amazing friend and P.E.O. Sister who brightened any occasion. I will miss her kind and cheerful presence very much. Sending love and prayers for peace to all mourning and also celebrating her beautiful life.
Dear Bruce and Family;
We feel your loss and send you our prayers.
My memory is of your wedding.
You asked me to sing for it, and it was a special honor to do it.
It was a song I'd never heard before, but perfect for your wedding.
Please know we think of you all on this difficult time.
Our love, Nancy & Bob Smith

What an amazing smile that Barb had! I am so honored and so blessed to have had the opportunity to share love, friendship and laughter with her both as a friend and as a P.E.O. Sister. Barb radiated love and light in all she did. Heaven gained one Amazing angel.
Dear Bruce,
I'm so sorry to hear of Barbara's passing. I'll always remember her beautiful smile, sweet ways and kind words at the Wasatch Senior High Youth Group in Salt Lake! I was the "new kid" having moved from Seattle. She just made me and everyone else feel so welcome.
Years later we so enjoyed visiting you both at your lovely home in Tucson. It was a very special time.
Sending hugs,
Bonnie Hewitt
Dear Bruce, Megan, Amy and Family,
What a beautiful tribute to your Wife,Mother and Grandmother!.
I met Barb and her Mother Eloise 22 years when we moved to Tucson and I transferred to Chapter Aw. From the start of of those ladies were warm and welcoming. I was fortunate have Eloise crochet an afghan for me and later Barb gifted me with one of her Mother's Madonnas. I treasure both of these gifts. I also have several "Hallmark" notes that Barb sent me through the years.
Barb was such a shining star in P.E.O., we will all miss her smile and hugs.
"Perhaps they are not stars in the sky
But rather openings where our loved ones shine down
to let us know they are happy"

I will always remember her welcoming smile....Barbara will be missed!

When I moved across the street from Barb and Bruce 21 years ago, Barb was the first neighbor to come over and say "Hello". We became friends over the years and I will miss her friendly upbeat attitude and cheerful smile. Rest in peace Barb. Arlene
