Howard, Debbie and family,
Our prayers are with you today as they have been these past weeks. Barb was a wonderful person, so kind and caring. Debbie, I have many great memories of babysitting you three kids and eating many delicious homecooked meals in my single years at your house in Rochester and in Stewartville. Stay in touch. Love to all, Tom and Linda.
I am a nurse that started in Surgery at Rochester Methodist Hospital in 1979. Barb taught me so much, and she was such a pleasure to work with. She talked so lovingly of her family. I want you to know what an excellent surgical nurse she was. The Surgeons admired her. Famous Dr.s Beahrs, McIlrath, Webb, Symmonds, Remine, (I may have spelled their names wrong) truly were happy to see Barb when they walked in the Operating Room. I have such fond memories of Barb.
I am so sorry to hear about Barb's passing. I worked with her for many years at Methodist Hospital and Knew her as a dedicated and hardworking nurse with a kind heart. My sincere condolences to her family. With sympathy, Virginia Johnson
