We share our deepest sympathy to you Pastor Dave, and your most beautiful family. Barb, and each of you, have shared your love, support, and fullest meaning of Love - in this moment- and always. In gratitude for all which is eternal.

I was a freshman at Grand View when Barb was a sophomore. When I saw her obituary, I remembered her.
She was always warm and friendly to everyone. I am glad she had such a wonderful life and family. Everyone who has known her will remember her. My cousin Linda had told me long ago that Barb was the pastor's wife at her church in Chariton. Linda had apparently learned that Barb had attended Grand VIew -- and wanted me to know that Barb and her husband were at her church! What a blessing she was to everyone she met.
