Barb was a great human, always making me laugh, I was one of the Girls at Guelph Independent Living. I am so sorry for your loss Tracey and family. I met Barb in 2011, and she has been a constant in my life for that many years, always helpful, kind, funny, movie watcher and old game show watcher, she was always excited to tell me that she watched something from the 2000's. We have lost someone so special. Barb I will always remember you, Rest in peace.
Love Brandi

Tracy, Gary, Scott and Mike,
I am so sorry to hear of Barb's passing. I have such fond memories of our family picnic times together and she faithfully sent me a Christmas card each year.
Your family has dealt with a lot of loss in the last couple years and I send warm thoughts and love as you deal with more grieving.
