Another brother, Gary Weiss predeceased her. Barb loved to create, her wedding cakes were especially stunning, she loved to paint scenery and flowers, and she always put her special touch on a wrapped gift, boy could she whip up a beautiful bow. She was passionate about traveling, especially to the beach. She loved to read, starting a new book every few days, and especially liked to read on the balcony of La Bahia at Pensacola Beach. Barb was very generous with her time and in helping those who were down on their luck. Our mother was a very strong woman, she was always there for us no matter what. In remembrance of her beautiful spirit: “Now I know why you always told me to be strong. You knew that one day I would need the strength to bear your loss.
