    I worked with Barb at 3rd street sportswear back in the late 90s… she was a great person to see every morning when I came to work. Very cheerful! My condolences to the family.

    Barb was a wonderful person. Customers loved her when she was at Third Street Sportswear. I often wondered how much more open she would’ve been if Greg hadn’t died so young. (Johnny was still alive at that time). I often thought she was a little more guarded than her personality would’ve allowed due to that pain of losing a child. And I never blamed her once for that. I looked up her as she was my mentor when I worked in the office and would have to fill in for her in her absence or when she was otherwise busy. She was a HUGE part of the company as she was part of it before it really was a company and it never seemed the same after she left….her clock number was number 2…she’d lost the #1 spot to Ilene in a coin toss! (Our clock numbers were in the order we were hired, mine was 856). I respected her greatly and will miss her a lot. My heartfelt condolences go out to her entire family especially her husband Dave, and daughter Trinity. She loved her family with all her heart, they were her pride and joy. Rest in peace Barb, I know you are happy being reunited with your sons. We will miss you but we’ll keep your memory alive in our hearts and speaking of you with fondness and love. Until we meet again on the other side, goodbye for now. ❤❤

    I grew up knowing Barb and her family through our church, and her children through school. I always considered her like another mother figure to me. Her kind and caring soul showed every day through her loving smile and gentle nature. I send my deepest condolences to the family in this time of grief. I know that she is with Greg and Johnny and there must be real joy of spirit right now for her. Love and blessings to all of you.

    So sorry to hear of your families loss. We have known each other since the Army days. Barb was such a sweet lady and I had kind of lost contact with her as to busy lives. She will be greatly missed . May God bring peace to you as you know someday you will be together again. My condolences to David and the family.
