Sweet Aunt Barbara
So many great memories growing up the years I spent around her. Fishing in the ponds, at the lake, Chesapeake Bay. So much good fun. Family reunions, hunting for arrowheads in the woods, her delicious slaw. Pictures and stories will never match that voice – quick to laugh out loud and just as stern if needed. Those summers live forever in my heart and mind, condolences to everyone still here without her. Every time a smile, every time a hug, can’t wait until next time.
Cousin
As they grew older, Mama and Daddy were often in the hospital. I don’t know how- but within a few hours, Barbara Ann was there to check on them. Mom several times mentioned how much she appreciated Barbara Ann’s thoughtfulness. Mama said that she felt better once Barbara Ann came and checked on them. Barbara Ann’s presence made Mama feel better. I will always be thankful for her kindness
Thank You Mrs. Matthews
For all you did for our father and his patients in his office for so many years…you sure helped a lot of folks get well…and always kept things lively…also for being a good friend of the entire family…lots of good memories…our thoughts go out to the Matthews family at this difficult time.
A sweetheart.
Barbara was so kind to Mom during the couple of stays she had at Pine View. When you look in Webster’s under Nurse, you find Barbara’s picture.
A wonderful friend.
What wonderful memories we shared. Providing many smiles. Barbara was a kind an loving person you were proud to call friend. My prayers are with the family during this difficult time.

Barbara was good at performing her job as a nurse. Most importantly, she was a wonderful person who wanted everything right for her patients. I will remember her kindness to everyone and salute her as being a Genuine person with a Heart of Gold. God Bless and comfort her family and all those who knew her.
DEEPEST SYMPATHY
I AM SO SAD THAT MY FRIEND FOR ALL THESE MANY YEARS HAS PASSED AWAY, BUT THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT SHE IS WITH HER LORD AND SAVIOR. SHE WAS ONE OF THE SWEETEST PEOPLE I HAVE EVER KNOWN. WE HAD SOME REALLY GOOD TIMES TOGETHER WHEN WE WERE GROWING UP AND SHE HELPED ME WITH THE CLASS REUNIONS THAT WE HAD. MAY GOD BE WITH EACH MEMBER OF HER FAMILY IN THE MONTHS AHEAD WITHOUT HER. LOTS OF LOVE FROM MY HOME TO YOURS. LOVE YOU ALL…!!
