Barb had such a sharp with and she willingly shared her humor with all of us. She worked so hard to take care of everyone, human and animal and showed her love for us all. I loved Barb and will miss her.

I loved Barb because she was a friend with compassion for life and a sense of humor. We shared an interest in horses, but Barb cared for all animals. I will miss her dearly but never forget her. It was appropriate that she left us during Holy Week. May she rest in peace, God knows she eserves the best.
