During the past few years, I had the opportunity to work with Barbara at Accent Care Hospice. She was an asset to the program. She took excellent care of the patients. Our unit at Wilmington Hospital will miss her warmth and dedication to the patients. Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.” and Psalm 34:18
” The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those crushed in spirit.” Sending my love and condolences to the family of my dear friend Barbara. We will miss her so much.
