Loving thoughts of an old friend. At rest now after a long battle. A dedicated church member for many years. Always remembered, at Rest.

Barbara would be at Ilam Church every opportunity she got, in her latter years, it was her 2nd home. Although unable to stand, Barbara would take a seat at the edge of the choir and sing to the Lord with all her might. She had many wonderful stories to tell and will be sadly missed. We look forward to seeing her again when the Lord returns for His saints.
