"Mom I know how much you loved little surprises, like a cup of coffee or a few flowers, I loved making you happy but I wish I did it more often. I knew how special you were and while i never meant to take you for granted, I know I sometimes did. Watching you light up when you were with Heather will always be my favorite memories. I love you more than I could ever express and needed you more than I ever knew. Love, me"
In loving memory of
Barbara T. Bane
December 9, 1963 - September 25, 2019

Barbara started on her road of helping others as the big sister and protector to her sisters and brothers.

She shared her zest for life and everything it had to offer, infecting all of us who were lucky enough to be a part of her life.
Barbara's door was always open, her refrigerator overstocked, with room at her table and in her heart for everyone who needed it. She was happiest when cooking your favorite meal or baking delicious treats to make smiles.
