So sorry for your family's loss. Went to high school with Barb and then we caught up again on Facebook these last several years. May God give you strength, peace and comfort to endure this trying time.

I have Barbara Holley to thank for almost every friend I have today. She even introduced me to my husband Brad and I will love and cherish her memory always. I had zero experience when she hired me twelve years ago and it wasn't easy training me... she used to say it looked like Helen Keller had been there when I tossed those table side Caesar salads. We had some good laughs back then and it didn't take long for me to see why everyone who walked through the doors of Mackenzies loved her. Barbara always found a way to make everyone feel special and valued. Her kindness and love of people and animals was an inspiration. I will remember her all my life.

Gary and Jimmy so sorry to hear about your Mom. The good thing is you have great memories. All of you were so close and not only Mother and Sons but friends. Will always remember her letting us hang out at your house in High School. And the time I spent with her in San Diego. Take Care...

We've known Barbara for the last 10 years and she has not only been a good friend, but also a colleague of Steve's at VWL. She will be sorely missed by not only all humans who were fortunate enough to know her, but also all animals as she was especially kind and loving to them. Our deepest condolences to her family for your loss.

Gary and Jimmy,
I always loved your Mom.
She will continue to bring a smile to my face whenever I think of her.
She always had a bright light around her and was always kind to everyone.
Loved her laugh.
With deepest sympathy to you both and your family.
Love always,
Jackie
