Mom, I miss you more than you could ever imagine. I have gone so many sleepless nights and anxious days since I've lost you. I need you. WE need you. I know you are not in pain anymore, I know you are in peace. I just hope I have made you as proud of me as possible, you taught me that I needed to work hard for the things I want in life and I've done so ever since I could.... I just pray you knew how much you mean to me and how much you I love and appreciate everything, every little thing you did for me. We will see each other again someday and I just can't wait to feel your hugs again.

I never met Barbara but I have a daughter named Barbara who was born the same year. My heart goes out to all who will miss this Barbara. May you be comforted by God’s promise of a resurrection to eternal life in paradise earth soon to come. John 5:28,29; Psalms 37:9-11; Revelation 21:3,4
We had many fun family gatherings at Marie and Barb's home in Keizer. Barbara was funny and was a terrific cook of Mexican food. My favorite was her guacamole. I love you and rest in peace, Barbara.
My heart goes out to her Mother, Marie and all her children and grandchildren.
How do you say goodbye to someone who gave you some of the best childhood memories? How do you say goodbye to someone who you spent so much time, someone who taught me to appreciate the little things in life, family time, and always wanted the best for me? You don’t...because it’s not goodbye, it’s a see you later. But from the bottom of my heart, one of the hardest see you laters. I have so many memories with Barbara and the family, such as playing Yahtzee, remodeling Felicia’s room and creating a “while you were out project,” learning how to type, helping out with garage sales, appreciating the beauty of gardening, as well as family reunions. Barbara, I love you so very much, and I hope you know you are very missed and loved by not just me, but a whole community. Rest In Peace
I have so many great memories with Barbara, her daughters, and granddaughters growing up. Barbara always welcomed my sister and I into her house as if we were family. Rest In Peace Barbara.
May she rest in peace. Thank you for trusting Johnson Funeral Home.
