Deepest condolences to all of Barbara’s family and friends. My heart is so heavy. Continued thoughts and prayers.
To my dear sweet friend Barb, I will always value what a sweet loving friend you are. May prayers are with your family. Love you always.
I’m so very sorry. I’m still in a state of shock that she’s gone. She was a wonderful caregiver for my Uncle Wayne Koons. I enjoyed spending time with her when I would come down to Houston for visits. We loved to go out to eat at new and different restaurants and just hanging out. She will be greatly missed. My heartfelt condolences to the entire family.
I am so sorry for your loss. I didn’t know her but my neighbors Ron and Cindy did and they mourning the loss. As her family is too. Open the gates to Heaven here comes a Angel.

We are so grateful to have known Barbara. During our 14 years living in Clear Lake, Barbara was the most delightful next door neighbor and friend, that anyone could ever ask for.
If we could say something to Barb, it would be to thank her — for her friendship, her kindness and grace, her undeniable sense of independence, her compassion, patience, and generosity, especially with her time.
These are all gifts from the heart, that will continue to inspire us.
A truly beautiful and special person, she will be deeply missed, and lovingly remembered.

My deepest condolences to her family. I worked with Barbara during her time at McDonnell Douglas. She was one of the sweetest and kindest ladies I knew. She was a very happy person with a lovely smile. She also knew my Dad very well as he taught her to fly. She will be missed by all who had the good fortune to know her.
I have been so blessed to have Barbara in my life. We met 24 years ago when I moved in down the street from her. We did so many things together through the years, and she became one of my very best friends. She was such a genuine person, so full of life, love and joy. I always left her with a smile on my face. My boys loved seeing her and hugging her. I am going to miss her terribly, but I am comforted knowing she has been reunited with Jenny and Richard. Many prayers for comfort and peace for her family and friends.
