"I have known Barb since 1st grade at St Peter's Elementary . She was always friendly and kind. We were always friends. I enjoyed sleepovers when we were young. Her whole family was very kind. After BR 1981 graduation, I did not see her much since I moved away. I loved it when I moved back to the area and would see her and her kids. We would talk about our kids. I even got to know her kids at school and Jim a little bit.. one thing I knew was that her famiky meant everything to her.. Later she took a class with me. That was so fun. We loved just catching up. I loved talking with her on FB and seeing her posts. She was funny and had the best stories. We will all miss you Barb. Hugs and prayers to all family and friends. Love Kim Lannan Fields "
