Our family came to Skycrest church in 1975. I was a new believer, and I met Barbara when I joined the choir soon after joining the church. I came to admire her talent for music as we worked together often. And her care and concern for others around her was clear. We quickly developed a close friendship that brought us many happy times, and later would see me through some difficult ones, - when we lost our son, and when I almost lost my husband. Barbara was by my side with love, prayers, and encouragement. She brought me a plaque from her home that read, “Faith is not believing that God can, it is knowing that He will.” She was a woman of strong faith. Barbara gave our daughter piano lessons when she was young, and Laura still speaks lovingly of her. Barbara and Lee and my husband Ron, and I enjoyed many special times together through those years. Even after we left Skycrest for a new church in 2005, we stayed connected. I loved kidding her that she always got to our next birthday five months before I did. To Lee and her family, our prayers and deepest sympathy. She was my special friend, and I will miss her.
