Please know you are all in my prayers. Barbara was a very special person to me and always put a smile on my face. A true faith filled person. Love to you all.
I am so sorry to hear that Barbara has passed away. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. My your memories help you get through this difficult time.
Hal, Love and tears for you losing you life long mate and helper. You have shown more men what it means to be a good husband, just as Barbara showed how to be a supportive wife. Proverbs 31 comes to my mind. She was a jewel of a person.
Hal, We can’t find the words to express how we feel about the death of your beautiful wife and our dear friend Barbara. She shared her God-given gifts with us all whenever she was present at any gathering whether a few friends or a group. It was a joy to work with her leading a program, always so meaningful. A faith filled woman, enthusiastic, caring and loving all who were in her path. Despite her pain, she gave her all. She will be sorely missed. Our love and hugs to you Hal as well as your loved ones. We mourn with you, but joy comes in the morning.
We are sending our love and hugs and prayers of comfort to you and your family . We can hear her sweet voice and feel her warm hugs .
Dear Pastor Hal, what wonderful memories we have of Barbara and you at Stevens Memorial UMC. Sending prayers for God’s peace and comfort to you and your family.
