It's been 4 months and I miss you so much. Our laughs and the silly fun is with me every day. I think of you all the time and I can't bring myself to erase our texts in you're final days. The beginning of our friendship started with a hilarious moment and we giggled right to the end. Love and miss you Willy. Lisa - Posted by: Lisa Branconnier (Friend) on: May 23, 2015

My condolences to the family. I have known Barbara for over 40 years. Over the years we would lose touch but always ran into each other every once in a while. When I was driving for winnipeg transit she would take my bus to downtown and we would laugh and talk about old times in west kildonan. Rest in peace my friend. - Posted by: bert bernardo (friend) on: Jan 26, 2015

I knew Barb from Churchill, Manitoba - where I worked with her at the Housing Authority. Barb and I got to know each other at work and spend a lot of time together outside of work. She became a good friend to me. Unfortunately we lost touch with each other when we both moved on. Barb was fun to be around and loved life. Rest in peace my friend, you are thought of often. - Posted by: Doreen Noseworthy (Friend and co-worker) on: Jan 24, 2015

May God bless her soul. I knew Barb very well from Churchill. She was was always bubbly and a very good friend. As with a lot of people that lived in Churchill and moved away to different places, you lose track of them only to find out to late that they actually didn't live very far away. I will miss her. - Posted by: Al Chartier (friend) on: Jan 24, 2015
