Frank, Dean,Ryan and Eric,
My heart aches. I was a childhood friend of Barbs. We played dolls in the alley and delivered newspapers on our bikes. I definitely remember her Mom and Dad, sister Janie, brother Richard and now Russell is left to grieve all the memories alone. God bless you kids, she loved each and every one of you. We will miss her always.
Love to your Dad, please give him a kiss from Kathleen (Curtis) Brandes 😘🙏

My sympathies to the LaPlante family. I’m so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in knowing that one day soon “death will be no more.” (Revelation 21:4) Not only will we not experience death, but we have the hope of being reunited with our loved ones we have lost to death. This will take place by means of the resurrection hope, mentioned in the Bible at John 5:28,29. Imagine how you’ll feel when your dear loved one, Barbara, is brought back to life, in a beautiful new paradise on earth! It’s not a mere dream, but a future that will soon be realized. (Revelation 21:5)

Frank and family I was a neighbor of Barbara’s growing up. Barbara was like a sister to me. She took me to the hospital when I had my first child.. She loved her family and was so proud to be that special mother and wife that she was. Prayers and condolences to her brother Russ and his wife Nancy

Frank, Dean, Eric, and Ryan, no words can express our heartfelt sympathy for you and your families. Barb was such a good friend for so many years. I am still in disbelief. I wish I could be there for visitation and her service but am just not able at this time. God bless and keep you wrapped in his loving arms and give you peace.
I love you girlfriend and will miss you so very much.

Barb was a special person her humor and caring were like a shinning light. I have been a bus driver 33 years and she was one of the best aids ever!! Barb will be missed by everyone who knew her. My prayers are with her family. I am sorry I will not be able to say goodbye to her but am driving at that time with the little ones she loved so much.

Dear Ryan and family,
Please except my sincerest sympathy, your mother was a marvelous person. I only knew her as “mama” Laplante, a loving and caring lady whose presence was always a joy. Love, Hugs, & Kisses

I’m so sorry for the loss of Barb. She was always up beat when she came into our office to see Doctor. I will always remember her smile when I would mention her Grand babies. The office will not be the same every 3 months that she came. Barb was one of the best and will always be missed. Hugs and well wishes to Barb’s Family. From all of us at Medical Team.
