Extending our deepest sympathy during this time. Our prayers and blessings are with the entire Corbel family. A mother is always with us, first in life then forever in our memory.
My heart goes out to the family of my dear friend. I left Sun City 5 years ago. We have talked on the phone every week since I left. I will miss our weekly talks. I cannot be there for her mass but you know I would have been there if I was able to come. My thoughts & love are with Barbara and her family on her birthday. How wonderful to celebrate her life on her special day. Love Judy
Our sympathy to the Corbel Family

For over 77 years (grammar school until now) Barbara has been a dear friend and I will truly miss her. I am having a hard time knowing I will never be able to talk to her again. She will always be in my heart. Rest in peace my dear friend.
Condolences to my childhood friend’s family. Barb and I went to grammar school and high school together and we have been friends ever since. I will miss my friend and our monthly lunches.

Barb loved playing poker and we all loved playing poker with her. She will be so dearly missed because of her calm presence, her laugh, and most of all her kind words for others. We had been friends for 15 years and I think about her often. May she rest in peace.
