Dr. Wood, it has been may years since I was a client of yours in the 1970’s and early 80’s.

I was saddened to read of your Barbara’s death. You have my sympathy and prayers.

I am now in the Phx AZ area and have a great chiropractor trained from Northwest University in Mpls.

May you sense the Holy Spirit’s comfort in ways that only He can provide. May you be scooped up and held in His arms as you celebrate her life and the days ahead. May your friends, family and Barbara’s family do the same.

Dear Family,
I am sad to hear the news of your loss. Take Care and God bless you all.

Bill,
We are sad to hear or your loss. Barb was so kind. The flowers at Cove Pt. will always remind me of her.

Barbara was a wonderful friend always greeting us with a big sunshine smile. We met 7 years ago at our North Shore cottages. Favorite memories are Barb’s homemade pies,cookies,jams;her love of the outdoors with6 mile hikes toward Split Rock. We admired her knowledge of flowers and birds. Barb lovedhaving guests for dinner and visiting afterward. She enjoyed sewing gifts for family and friends. We are so glad we vacationed with Barb and Bill in Florida for 3 weeksthis March. We all had fun walking the beach for shells, lunches in Venice,going to art and car shows, Saturday hot dogsand swimming at the warm mineral springs.Barbara shared her life with many people. Bill, we know Barb was a huge part of your life and will be missed a lot. Call us anytime.

Our thoughts are with you and the family.

Bill, Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Call if we can help in any way.

We are deeply saddened by Barb’s passing—her quick smile, generous heart and loving spirit graced everything she did. She never missed an opportunity to help someone in need, and shared so much with us over the past almost-20 years. Her life was cut short, but she lived it with such grace. We will miss her terribly, and send our love to Bill.

I am so sad about the loss of Barb. She and Bill have been my neighbors for many many years. Her death puts a big hole in my heart and in our neighnothood. Bill, I know this is very hard for you, and you will be in my prayers. May Barb’s spirit be taken to paradise on Angel’s wings where she can be reunited with ther beloved parents.

To Patty, also, my deepest sympathy.

I was stunned to hear of Barb’s passing. She was such fun and always had a smile. She’ll be missed at Valencia. My sympathy and prayers to you and the family.

I was speechless when I received the news of Barb’s passing. There are so many wonderful, crazy memories of our times as kids. My family and I will really miss her.

What a shock. We really enjoyed spending time with both of you in Florida. She was an angel & will be deeply missed. If you need anything give us a call. Our prayers are with you.

So sorry about your loss, wish I could have gotten to know Barb better, talked to her in the elevator many times. God Bless!

We are deeply saddened Bill. We love both you and Barb. I will always remember the hike up the Cove Point loop trail that Barb took with me.

Her handiwork at Windsong will be a constant and living rminder, to her friends, of her love of this place. Her floral touches always bring a smile as we enter Windsong and come down the hill toward her garden. Bill, our hearts go out to you at this time.

Barb has been such a pleasure to be around. We will miss her smile, caring heart, and open door. She has blessed so many friends on the North Shore–especially us and our children. Praying she is with the Lord celebrating his goodness. Bill we are so sorry for your loss. Barb will be missed by all.

The owners of Windsong Cottages Association offer their deep condolences for your loss. Barb’s gardening expertise and many hours of landscaping efforts here made Windsong a finer place and we will miss her very much.
