When the one year anniversary of Barbs death came this year, I felt so sad once again. I´ve thought of her so many times and it´s so hard to loose those we care about. I really miss her. I loved to send her chocolate kisses in the mail and she loved them.. I had bought her a sweater poncho to send to her as she said she loved mine but she passed before I could give it to her. Now when I wear it I feel like she´s with me.
Miss you my dear Barb.. you left us too soon. Love you and I hope I see you and my mom in heaven.. hugs Cindy Imber

Every time I use my QVC microfiber wash cloth two of them. She got me for my birthday in 2021 I think of her which she was a good friend and she loves snowman and everything I could find when I´d be out at the Goodwill or wherever I went I´d look for something that I knew she would love, God bless you Barbara Brown for being in my life. I love you I love you you are missed.

I´m so saddened to read the loss of my friend Barb. I loved her and got to know her as she lived in the same building as my mom. She always helped her and others in any way she could. She called my mom little Elly . She text me on November 14 th 2022 just a couple days before her death and said she loved my hair as I sent her a picture when I asked how she was. She said she was hanging in there but only said nice things to me and not telling me her pain. I wish I could have given her a hug before she left. I wasn´t able to fly to Pittsburgh to see her and she did not lead on to the extent of how awful she must have felt . Now my heart is heavy. Prayers to her family whom I never met but heard stories of.
Rest in peace my darling friend.
