Our deepest condolences to your family. We both knew and worked with Barbara at Wieters Construction Co. back in the early 80´s. She was so much fun and added much laughter to our office. She will be greatly missed.

Those of us who knew and loved Barbara will forever miss her sincere and loyal spirit, her wonderful sense of humor and her infectious spontaneous laugh. She was a lady of deep convictions and great faith in our Lord.
Sleep now in peace my dear friend. Your earthly trials are over and you are again free to sing joyfully with your lovely voice among all of Heavens hosts.
