So sorry to hear this! Fond memories of Barbara since I was a child! Praying for all the family in this time.
Mr. Newsom & Family,
I am so sorry to learn of Barbara’s passing. She helped & looked after my grandmother (Pat Street) during her last few years, and was with her at home when she had her final stroke. Had Barbara not been there, our family would have missed out on saying goodbye. For that and for being such a great friend & blessing to my grandmother, I am forever grateful to Barbara. She was a wonderful person who will surely be missed by all who knew her.
