Barb was a great woman to work with and get to know through being at spring wind. She was always kind to us and always had a candy or two, a smile, and a listening ear of you needed someone to talk to. She was always so happy to read the postcards that I would send her from my trips and had them displayed in her room. I know that we all miss her greatly at spring wind and that we will all have a cup of coffee in her memory.
