The family wishes to extend heartfelt thanks to the staff at Parkview Long Term Care for the love and care they provided with the utmost level of compassion, kindness and patience.

I came to know Barb and Bob through my over 25 years' friendship with their daughter Karen. I will always remember Barbara for her wit, great sense of humour and for her strong will and determination to overcome so many health difficulties, especially during the last few years when life became so challenging. She was a strong person. She was a fighter.
She is at peace now and she will always be remembered with much love.
My condolences to her husband Robert, her daughters Cheryl, Susan, Julie and Karen and to all the extended family.
Felicia (Felicity).
