We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services – Cedar Rapids
I remember when Aunt Barb, Aunt Deb, and myself went to visit Grandma Susie in Tennessee for Christmas one year. My Aunt Deb had on a skirt with rivets and as we went through airport security the metal detector went off due to my Aunt Deb’s skirt. I remember Aunt Barb scolding her for it and that set the tone for the trip. It ended up being an amazing trip with many memories made. I will forever smile when I think of that trip.
You are in both of our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Barb was an absolutely wonderful person and will be missed by everyone.
Bill, David and family my deepest sympathy to you. I worked will Barb at Cargill and we had remained friends ever since then. It has been a few years since we had gotten together and I had made a promise to myself to make a lunch happen this year. It is with deep regret that that never happened. Don’t put off things until tomorrow when it may be too late. Take care and be kind to yourselves 🙏🙏♥️
With deepest sympathy, your loving , giving spirit will live in all of our heart’s forever.
I know Barb and Bill thru their wonderful volunteering at St. Paul’s Church. The Christmas dinner was a BIGGIE, but they also faithfully sorted bakery from Panera’s every Sunday up until her accident. This was made available to all of us. She will be missed by all and we hope Bill will be able to rejoin us. Peace and blessings to the family. You had a sweetie.
