My prayers are with you all during this time. Though I have never been able to meet other Fosnows, I have heard stories from my daddy Bill. Family is family. Prayers from us all.

Barb will be missed by many but never as much as her beloved family. She was a patient, kind and friendly person that you felt at ease with. We enjoyed years of her hospitality when she lived in Greenfield, WI. Barb was always up for a game of Scrabble, which was my favorite game too.
Barb worked until age 70, and deserved many more years of retirement to enjoy her family that she cared so much for. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to all her loved ones. We will miss her.

You couldn't ask for a better Mother-In-Law. Kind and considerate are the first things that come to mind. We have nothing but good memories. Wish we had more time with Barb. She is also with loved ones who share my feelings. She will be deeply missed.
Mother In Law - created by God, blessed with a child to raise for another to love.
