10 Condolences
Deepest sympathies to Gus and the rest of the family. Barb was an awesome lady, she will be sadly missed.

Cheryl – Just heard of the death of your sister, Barbara. I send my sympathy to you and your family. Feel a hug. bev. Henkel
Gus we are so sad to hear about Barb. Our deepest sympathy to you and Barb’s family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Gus:
You don’t know me but you do need to know what I’m sure hundreds of people will say and that is that she was a marvelous person to work with and someone I looked up to because of her commitment to corrections and to those encarcerated.
Thank you for sharing her with us.
She will never be able to be replaced in our lives.
We pray for you and your family at this huge loss.
God bless.
I was so saddened to hear of Barb’s death. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. May you find God’s peace through these difficult days.
It is with great sympathy that I send my condolences to all of Barbs family… We have the family we are born with and then sometimes if we give so much of ourselves we are blessed with a much bigger “family”. Barb was that kind of person! I say this with my own relationship with Barb. She went out of her way with so many in the Omaha community. There are thousands of people here that Barb touched. We will miss her and please know your family had a beautiful and giving soul. She will truly be missed!
Gus,
My heart goes out to you. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
