Mike and Family, We are so sorry for your lose. The tribute you prepared was very moving and showed what a loving family you have. I most remember the time, some years ago, when you and Barb introduced us to your newly acquired grocery store. It was such a new venture and I know Desmond also had a hand in doing some cooling maintenance and shelving preparation. My earliest memory of Barb and her siblings was when they visited me in Texas back during my service time. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Barb from the moment we met we could always connect! It didn’t matter the subject matter! You were always easy to talk too,also so very talented with your crafts in the day! I don’t think there wasn’t much you couldn’t do. You and Mike were so made for each other(soulmates) Thank You for making him happy and him making you happy. I don’t think either one of you was ever mad at each other. A very special couple.You were both great parents and grandparents! You will be greatly missed but you will be in our memories and in our hearts forever until we all meet againThank You for being a great friend and sister-law

Barb, you were a dear sister-in-law. You were witty, and a straight talker. I enjoyed working with you and Mike, at the River View Market. You will be missed by the Rausch Family, especially at the gatherings, you always were a good trooper. We will truly miss you. Brother-in-law Mark.

Barb we will miss your laugh and smiles. They were contagious. Seems so unfair to have you go so fast without warning or sign. But you must have known you were loved and always will be loved. Till we see you again. Keep smiling and watching over us until that time. Mike was blessed to have you for all this time. So we're we. Love and hugs till we meet again. Love The DIFFERTS.
