Barb was a wonderful part of our church (Living Faith). We sat the row behind her everySunday. We have visited Barb at Extendicare and prayed with her each time. What a wonderful smile would come in her face when she saw us. Im sure she didnt know exactly who we were from time to time but was always happy to see us. What a lovely lady you were and you will be greatly missed.

Deepest condolences to all family and friends of Barb. I had the pleasure of meeting Barb when she lived on Churchill and my mother Shirley Lang and Barb were old friends. It was always fun when visiting my mom to be in the presence of these 2 ladies and listening to their stories from back in the day, lots of laughter, teasing and just pure enjoyment. RIP Barb.

Dear John and family, I’m so sorry to hear that Barbara has pass away. She was a dear friend of mine, we did a lot of baking together. She showed me how to knit a sweater, and she always had a knitting project on the go. She was a great friend, and I do have great memories of her. She has a special place in my heart. My sinceres sympathies and my prayers are with you.
