I met Ms Barbara at FMA in 2007.  She was the kindest, sweetest lady I had met in a long while.  I enjoyed our conversations and laughter as well as some tears.  She surprised me on a birthday with an excellent bottle of Merlot. We kept in touch briefly here and there after I left FMA .  our friendship wasn't eons but she never made you feel like i were not part of her close circle.  Your smile , sweetness and that charming wit will forever remain.  Rest easy my friend with the angels.  One gorgeous cruise your are on .  you will most definetly be missed..

Bob, Amy, Heather, and everyone who loved Barbara so much.....I met Barbara when we were young teenagers through Madeline  and was able to hear and keep up with, love and enjoy all the wonderful stories and adventures of her life. I remember how sweet Barbara was and how much she loved her family. My prayers are with each one of you, as you miss her and also as you  remember all the amazing things about her.

I was just 19 when I first met Barbara. She took a liking to me and took me under her wing, after we both stopped working for that company we kept in touch that meant the world to me. I can honestly say she was the sweetest woman I've came across, with so much love to give I was truely blessed to have known her and she will forever be in my heart. RIP Mrs babarra you wonderful woman prayers sent to the family and friends.

Bob, Amy and Heather I can't begin to tell you how much I'm going to miss Barbara.  We had great times at FMA.  Shared a lot gossip!  Even after she left she knew more about what was going on there than I did!  We had some great phone conversations. I loved her dearly.  She was a great friend.  I'm sure one of these days we'll take up where we left off.  Take care.

I loved Barbara! I was her FMA boss for about 5 years. She was such a joy.  We cried together and laughed together.  One of my favorite memories is the day she brought a cat to the office and kept her under the desk.  I kept sneezing when I went by her desk.  It was almost the end of the day before she fessed up. We had a good laugh. And, she adopted our foster kitten Allison. Barbara Neal you are always in my heart and my memories.  Meet me at the pearly gates when I get there!

Our precious Barbara Lynn may be out of our sight, but only for now. Her life print on our lives, each in a different way and yet the same for each of us is ours forever. She was and is loved and that has no ending. Her giggle and laughter, her forgiving ways and her love for life is a gift she gave and ours to cherish. I love and miss her so much, but love having the promise of life eternal with her because of our Lord Jesus Christ and His provision. Her cousin by blood, her friend by choice. Sister Kerr

Barb & I met at Lauberge & always gambled by each other then became good friends & would make plans to go at the same time. I really enjoyed her company. We had so many memories. Her & I would drink a beer together in the VIP bar & get a snack. She loved gambling just like me. We would go to the spa & to Embers & just have such a good time.

Barbara Lynn....this is how our bond started, we could not believe, we actually had the same middle  name. ...loll
Barbara,  there was so many times I came to you,  saying "I quit ", and you would convince me each time,  to stay,  and oh how I appreciate that,  because I made more money than I had ever made,  the first year at FMA,  and the big bucks continued until I had to leave and take care of my Dad.
And on a more personal note how we kept that friendship until God called you home.  
We could talk for hours on how we were getting old and our doctor appointments...lol 
Well I'm still going to the doctor and I must say I miss my friend,  you would always say "well at least you will know what the meds are for "
Thank you for being a friend for over 20 years. 
Signed Barbara Lynn

Aunt Barbara, I have such great memories of you when I was young. We had such fun times.. I hope that you have reconnected with my Mom up in heaven.... Much Love

Amy and Heather,
 I worked with Barbara in San Antonio at American Bank. She was a mother figure to me and also a friend. I can't begin to tell you how she brightened the work day with her extraordinary  sense of humor. We laughed, joked, and cut-up like crazy! She always spoke of her beloved daughters and loving husband. It was nice to catch up with her on Facebook several years ago. She was an amazing person and will be dearly missed.
