Barb and I were classmates at MLS, and worked at Amherst Hospital as a team as nurse aids- candy stripers without the stripes! To this day, I use the lasagna recipe titled "Barb Koch´s Lasagna"! My condolences to all family. Rest in Glory, Barb.

I am so sad to read this. Barb and I were friends at MBJ Nursing School and we would crochet together in our spare moments. My condolences to all the family.
