The family would like to express sincere gratitude to the entire staff of Santa Fe Place in Plainview. Particularly, Tobi Lohn, Tiffany Blackerby, Ninfa Gonzales, Wyatt Burns, Cheyenne Ellis, Kim Lee, and Maytee Flores for their kind and compassionate care.

The family would also like to thank Nelda Myers for her supportive friendship and kindness.

She was friendly to everyone and on the last day of her life she enjoyed the Valentine’s Day activities riding around in her new wheel chair, eating the chocolate covered strawberries and other delicious treats at the Santa Fe House.  Her friend, Nelda, said that was a beautiful day because Barbara was smiling, happy, and was having a very good day!

We will miss her, but we all have memories to cherish from knowing this very unique, one of a kind person.
