    Our sympathy to you Margaret and James. Some of my childhood memories of time spent
    with Barbara as we played together at Aunt Margaret’s house. I remember Aunt Margaret
    making us matching dresses. James might remember we met during a dinner we had with
    Jim Howry. God bless you and give you His comfort.

    I’ve known most of the Herr family since 1968.

    I’ve known the Herr Family for a long time ( 1968).
    At least most of them.
    I’ll miss her.

    Dear James, Margaret and family,
    Gary and I offer our sincere condolences with the passing of your sister Barbara.
    I remember fondly of talking with Barbara about my sister Kay Dimeler, who also was a Kindergarten teacher in the Elizabethtown School district. Barbara always asked about her. Kay is currently living at the Madonic Homes in Elizabethtown. She unfortunately has dementia at age 81.
    We pray for your comfort and peace and GOD’S warm embrace as you say good-bye to your dear sweet sister. Our caring thoughts are with you all. Be blessed.
    Love, Gary and Suzie

    Dear Jim and family
    I have known Barbara ever since I joined the church in 1977. At that point she was in the choir. After that she was in church and we could always tell her because of her beautiful hair and often with a hat. We will miss her and with not seeing people in church these days it is sometimes hard to keep up with friends. Thoughts and prayers are coming your way.
    Love, Margaret C.

    Dear Family,
    Miss Herr was the kindergarten teacher for my two daughters. She made their first school experience a safe, secure and pleasant experience. They loved her.
    I will pray for your family during this time of adjustment.

    I am very sorry to learn that Barbara has passed away. We were friends when I lived in Lancaster. We both attended First Methodist Church, sang in the choir, and went to many events together. My sincere condolences to your family.

    Dear Jim and Maureen, Thinking of you during this difficult time with the loss of Barbara. I’m sure this year of the pandemic has made the care of your sisters even more challenging than in “normal” times. We miss you and pray for strength and peace. Sincerely, Lois and Dave Greene

    Hi Jim,
    So sorry to learn of your sister’s passing. I can’t say that I knew her but I very much remember her
    wearing her hats and her nice smile when we met in church.
