To the family of Barbara Frances Klug. May you find comfort in knowing that your dear one is safe in the memory of God, who will remember every detail about him and bring him back again.” Isaiah 25 verse 8
Dear Ron and Family:
I wish to offer my heartfelt condolences to you on Barbara’s passing. While time and distance have diminished our contacts, it has not reduced our friendship from the old days. My mind skipped immediately to parties at Middle Wheeling Creek and Ron’s thumbing to DC from Morgantown to see Barb in the middle of winter (against our collective advice). God bless you and your family.

Bob and family…So sorry for your loss. I remember when my mom died in 1984, you and Wendy were the only friends who came to the funeral home, and I’ll never forget how grateful I was. Wishing you all peace and love.
When I walk on Sunset Beach, I will know that the warmest and brightest ray of sunshine is Barb looking down and smiling!!!
Barb was such a warm, caring person with a beautiful smile.
