Barb was a very loving and caring person, not only for her children but for her friends and family too. Her boys meant the world to her, she went above and beyond to give her boys a life that she didn’t live. She enjoyed building lego, coloring, making crafts and taking her boys to hotel swimming pools, there wouldn’t be a Christmas or a birthday where you didn’t receive a home–made card from her and the boys. Barb’s favorite color was rainbow and most of all pink. She had such a “Hello Kitty” addiction, that she decorated her bedroom with this theme. She would always welcome and leave her door open to her friends and family. If you were one of her many friends that she met in her short life then you would understand her Facebook status:

“I’m difficult, demanding, loud and flirty. I’m everything you hate! I say what I mean & mean what I say!”
