 sunshine4531481 PostsJoined 1/13/2007east coast and west coast just saw this post on shawns wall on facebook and thought i would pass it along here just in case anyone knows a poster here by this name and can help..... Help: This is a total long shot, but...does anyone know a woman named barb walker in Missouri? She is a dear, dear lady .. and an avid qvc watcher. Barb and I became sometime email pen pals after she reached out following one of my isaac shows. Her story touched me deeply. Barb is battling cancer. Last I heard, she was entering hospice in December. I have not heard from her since. Most I know abt her is she has a son who lives in Houston, and a daughter or d in law - Jen - who was due to give birth last month. She was so excited for a grand-baby .. She was praying she could hold on until the birth. An email of mine to her went unanswered, and Ive been thinking of her a lot lately. My heart is heavy. This is a needle in a haystack, post...but FB is a powerful thing. If any of you can help...or help pass the word...I'd love to know how she is doing.

It does appear that facebook friends have confirmed that. Last edited on 4/12/2012 "Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself."

There is more to her than meets the eye. Bump! Barbara, where in Va are you? I live in Northern, va, but not quite in yuppieville. What a thoughtful, caring thing for Shawn to do, reaching out to this lady out of concern. RIP Barb Walker from Missouri.
Shawn is so sweet and a very authentic person. So sad about her facebook friend. Your BELIEFS don’t make you a better person, your BEHAVIOR does.

Shawn's concern for Barb is touching. JESSA1334328860.471204 PostsRegistered 12/18/2010 Oh how sad . Shawn is such a kind caring person. sunshine451334330542.60331481 PostsRegistered 1/13/2007east coast and west coast more from shawn today:
Thank you: friends...I am so so grateful to u, as I wipe my heavy tears. Yes... that is barb. She was so spunky, so full of zest. I used to save her emails, in case I needed a pick me up when I was down. In the midst of the fight for her life...she wud always say the most encouraging things to me. It was as if she knew me. She told me never to settle for the wrong guy. And she once tried to set me up with her son. "he would kill me if he knew I was doing this", she said. She said he was 6'9" and so handsome; she was convinced we wud be perfect for ech other bc we were both born in 1972. :) She sent me the loveliest photo of him walking her down the aisle at one of her children's weddings. She wore purple. :) she had asked me for advice on a Joan rivers pin for her mother of the bride outfit..I just sent her a care pkg to keep it easy for her. And I'll never forget getting that email in December from her. she was going into hospice .. and she said she was scared.
Ok must go now. Tears r too heavy right now. Thank u friends.

I just looked up Barb Walker in Houston on FB, there are several. It would really help to know just where Barb lives. Oops! I just saw that Barb lives in Missouri. There are many, many Barb Walkers on FB. I wish we knew just where in Missouri she lives. Trying to look up Barb Walker, Missouri brings up all Barb Walkers, not just in Missouri.

Kimi-Eliz1334332879.657770 PostsRegistered 9/10/2006 I just read this thread. I admire the women who keep in touch, listen and give a helping hand when needed. Each of you are special. I am so glad we do have a community where we can vent, ask for advice and find friends. I did not know the ladyof which you speak but I am sure she is looking down and smiling that her friend Shawn and all of you cared for her and her family . You are Great ! Shawn has a good heart. Last edited on 4/13/2012 By GEORGE, we will find our way back home. Shawn has come up many notches in my book. Sounds like Barb Walker was a pretty fantastic woman as well.
