    So sorry for your loss. I never worked directly with Barb but we were work acquaintances for many years at Quest. She was always very sweet. I know she will be greatly missed by family and friends.

    I had the pleasure of working next to Barb at Quest back 15-20yrs ago. She was a joy to share space with. Always had a smile and ready to jump in and help anyone! My condolences on your loss. I will always remember her fondly.
