Alice Barbour
Keith, Michael, and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. May it give you comfort that Barbara is at peace and reunited with your parents in heaven.
I had the privilege of working with Barbara in HR at Caterpillar, and we remained friends after retirement. Barbara is one of the most carrying, compassionate, positive, and self-less women I've known. She was my inspiration when we both went through some rough times near the end of our careers. I believe those challenges strengthened our friendship as we motivated and supported each other. I'm so grateful for the regular phone chats we had over the past 10 years that always lifted our spirits. She handled each health challenge with grace. As she often told me, quality of life was more important than quantity of life.
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn Barbara's passing and also celebrate her wonderful legacy of a life well lived!
With sympathy, Alice Barbour
