I have no words. She was
My sister I am
At a
Loss.
How sad. We all drifted apart when my family and I moved back to Wyoming. Still, I never forgot all the Forberts, and Barbara was always the heart, I thought, of the Beaumont M&I Office. She sure helped me when I first got there, bless her soul.
And bless you too Rachel. I still apologize for screwing up your going away party for me. You and your Mom will always be in my heart!
John
Sarah & Rachel yall are all in my prayers. Sending all of you big hugs today and days to come.
May I offer my condolences to Rachel and the families. I am glad to have known such a wonderful lady.
So sorry for your loss. May Barbara Rest In Peace and May her Memory be a Blessing.
To Barbara’s family: Your mother was a lovely lady. I enjoyed getting to know her during the years that she was in Beaumont. She was very devoted to the Temple and the Sisterhood. I was sad to see today that she has passed away.
