I just returned to Peoria from Phoenix for vacation and saw where Barb lost her battle with cancer.  I found out about her having cancer when I left Caterpillar in November of 2007.  I felt sure she would win this battle because of her positive attitude.  She was supportive of me when I went through my bout with cancer.  I am so thankful for being a survivor.   I first started working with Barb when she was a co-op from Woodruff High School.  She was always a very lovely person and a great co-worker.  Our career pathes crossed many times over the years.  I know she will be missed greatly by her childen, family and friends.

Barb, as a co-worker, was always helpful, pleasant, smiling.  So sorry to read she lost this battle to cancer.  An amazing and healthy woman, a runner, with energy, is how I will always remember her.  Many thanks to the family support for her, and the updates I just read on the Barb's Fight blog.  She was so blessed to have you in her life.

I was shocked to see that Barb had passed away.  She was always such a delight to work with and be around.  She always had a "warm smile" and ready to jump in and answer any question and help as an Administrative Assistant.  She was a beautiful friend - both on the inside and outside.  I saw her last winter with a friend at a Bradley game and we talked.  My deepest condolences for her family.  I will truly miss her.  My prayers are with you.

I was deeply saddened to learn of Barb's passing.  We worked together in Building JJ and our paths crossed many, many times throughout the years.  She was a wonderful lady and a joy to work with.  She was always helpful, warm and compassionate, and had that beautiful smile.  She was so proud of her family, and I later had the pleasure of also working with Jill.  My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Barb was a remarkable woman and friend.  Even though she was fighting her own battle, she always was there to help me with my cancer fight.  She will be missed so much.  We all loved her.

We were deeply saddened to learn of Barb's premature passing. She was a delightful and supportative Administrative Assistant -- a woman who came to work everyday with a cheerful can-do attitude and who truly enjoyed liffe. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Barb's family and friends in this sad time of transition.
