A very sad message about Babs RN

[ICNDonna]

We received word this morning that Barbara passed away yesterday. If you'd like to join us in sending condolences to her little girl, Lindsey, and other family members, please post here.

Barb lived very near her parents so I feel sure that Lindsey is with them today.

I am so sorry to hear this news. I feel like a member of my family has departed. Sending prayers for the family and especially Lindsey. Barb loved her very much.

[amber sevy]

:angel: My thoughts and Prayers are with her Family. This is so sad she was a great lady

[icnmgrjill]

I'm heartbroken for Barb and I'm heartbroken for Lindsay. For many years, Barb was a moderator on the ICN and she helped countless patients despite her own serious struggles. She went through an agonizingly difficult divorce. She was absolutely determined to find the best care for her daughter who had been diagnosed with autism. She showed great courage in living an independent life inwhich she supported her daughter and provided her a loving, caring, warm and thoughtful home.

I want to thank her friend Leslie for contacting us this info. On behalf of the ICN, I couldn't be sadder about this tragic turn. I truly enjoyed talking with Barb and was always so impressed by the strength and courage she showed. There is absolutely no doubt that her shining light was her daughter Lindsay.

Jill

[wfarrell]

My thoughts and prayers are with her daughter, family and friends.........she was so young.........:(

[SharonA]

I have spent a little time this afternoon reading some of the old posts that she was involved in and have discovered that I really miss her. I missed her when she left our boards, but now I am grieving her passing. She was one very special lady.

[Sarojini]

I'm so sorry to hear this.... her family is in my thoughts and prayers.

[patricia1]

Along with everyone else my prayers are with her family, daughter and friends especially Leslie:pray:

[dg2901]

My sympathy to those left behind.

[Briza]

I am so terribly saddened. :( I just cannot believe this. She was much loved and respected on this board. I learned a lot from her my first years on this board. She will be missed. My prayers are with her family and friends, and especially dear :angel:Lindsey:angel:, whom I know Barb loved and lived for. (((hugs))):pray:

[snowgirl]

Yes prayers for Barb's family and Lindsey. Jill has said it so right so many things about her I remember through it all she was a very strong lady and I want to say a very sharp RN. I do know from what conversation and posts I did have with her before she left ICN her daughter was her shining star is absolutely right and her drive to keep going everyday. I also send support to Leslie her bestfriend who this is going to be tough on her as well ladies. Vicky

[aprilstew]

I am so sorry to hear this. Big hugs and prayers going out to her daughter and family.

[Annie2]

I am so deeply sadened to learn of Barb's passing. My thoughts and prayers will be with her daughter and family.

[christinap28]

I am so sorry I will miss her greatly. She was a great friend and helped anyone with IC that needed it. She will be missed by all. Rest in peace Barb

[missychan]

I am simply in shock... she was an amazingly strong woman who saw more than her share of pain and hard times, and STILL always seemed to be able to have something to give to others.

She helped me and my family through an extremely rough time with her medical expertise, and her prayers. I can only hope that she is finally at peace and out of pain.

My heart breaks for Lindsey- her mamma was and will always be her strongest supporter... that poor baby.

My thoughts and prayers are with Barbs family, may they find peace and comfort in knowing just how many lives Barb touched, both on this board and in her everyday dealings.

God Speed Barb...

Missy

[Briza]

LESLIE ((((((((HUGSSSSSSSSS))))))))) :grouphug: To lose a best friend...there are no words to describe what you are going thru right now....I am very very sorry...*tears* :pray: I am so sad.

DebbieD

[windwalker]

I'm so sorry to hear about Barb. She was a very supportive person. My prayers go out to her family and friends.

[vm]

What a shock to log in and read this... :( What sticks out in my mind about BabsRN was how often she spoke of her daughter and how determined she was to be with her and give her all the best. Babs always, always went out of her way to help other ICers. I am so sad to hear this. :(

[dyno]

This is such sad news. Barb helped me through a tough time in my life and helped so many on here. I send my thoughts and prayers to her family. :pray::pray:

I did tell her specificially of your post and what you said to her. She can't view the ICN but wants to know. I told her people were supporting her as well as the family. I told her Bri exactly what you posted. She is in shock is what I would say about Leslie right now. Yep bri I already did and will keep telling her as they are posted. Vicky

[Julie B]

my heart is breaking............. :pray:

Kim, what you posted is exactly what I remember about Barb...she spoke of Lindsey so often, how much love she has for her, and how her world revolved around what was best for Lindsey, 24/7.

I also know that she was a strong, hardworking, very intelligent and resourceful RN; and worked as hard as she could in many capacities and different jobs as a nurse to best accomodate her own medical, financial, and parental needs. Her work was so important and rewarding to her, and tho necesssary, she did not do it just because she needed or wanted a paycheck. It was her calling and her passion and she worked long and hard to find nursing jobs that were as conducive to her IC as possible. And even when finding work as conducive to IC as possible she stlll had to deal with her IC. And she did...successfully, despite the pain and symptoms she was most likely still dealing with on a daily basis.

And like I said before, especially during my first years on the board, her medical expertise and knowledge and experience with IC was of so much help to me as I know it has been to many others....just as Snowgirl and Windwalker said in their posts.

[jjt001]

This is so terribly sad. I always looked up to Barb so much on the boards -- she was encouraging and knowledgeable. My heart goes out to Lindsey and her family, and to all of you here who were so close to her.

[SueC]

:pray:

[kuntrygurl78]

I dont even know what to say. I know that she meant so much to so many people. I was shocked and saddened by the news. Prayers to her little girl:pray:

[amaranthe]

This is such a terrible shock! Though I learned of this hours ago, like the rest of you, I am still processing it all. I have known her every since I first came to the ICN. She was the first person to PM me. We exchanged numbers, and talked many times. Sometimes we'd talk daily, even numerous times daily, if either of us was in "needy mode". Then, sometimes we'd go months without talking, our friendship waxing and waning with our busy lives. But, if either of us ever needed the other, we'd always call and talk, always picking right back up, as though no time had passed. That's just how things were with us.

She was an extraordinary person, nurse, mother and friend. She went into the nursing profession because she wanted to make a difference and help other people, and she did. But, perhaps her greatest legacy, (besides her daughter, Lindsey), is the legacy she left here on the ICN.

The ICN meant more to Barb than most would ever realize. She was here almost every day. Logging on after Lindsey went to sleep, and staying on here for many hours to help others, even when she herself was often in greater need than the person she was helping. But, that's just how she was!

I keep tying "was", because that's what people write and say about someone who has died. They say "was" and and speak of things in the past tense. But, Barb isn't a "was".....she is still an "IS". She is still alive. It is only her broken body that is gone. She now has a new and glorious body that will never be sick, nevermore suffer, and nevermore be sad. She is with the Lord, whom she loves. And though most of us never got to meet her here, I know that I havent lost my chance of meeting her, and that one day I WILL get to meet her. Only then, instead of talking about our broken bodies, we will be talking about our new ones, and all the great things they can do! :)

Barb, I will never forget you, and I STILL look forward to meeting you!

Much love,
Amaranthe

[lisabar36]

I remember Barb as an amazing person, supportive, who loved her daughter so much. She was so loved by so many people. My thought and prayers for family, friends, and her daughter Lindsey. :pray::pray:

[snowgirl]

amaranteh
you are right about the verbage in writing you know proper or past tense. personally I always felt uncomfortable with past tense so right away.
You are right and I posted probably in FB- we will meet her for the first time in heaven. SHe is up there and yes I knew of her Catholic religion and beliefs. She is up there with family, friends and so many patients she took care of over the years that had passed. She will be the RN in heaven looking out for others up there. I do agree we will meet her for the first time in heaven but with no disease and no illnesses--------- all gone in Heaven. Vicky

[amaranthe]

I am not sure if they will have her Obituary in her hometown paper today or tomorrow. But, I am sure many here will want to read it. So, will you all do us a favor, and whoever comes across it first, please post it here for everyone.

Her name is Barbara Faber, and she lived in Viera, Florida. Though I heard it from another ICer that Viera is a very small town, and might not have a newspaper. She said it might appear in Cocoa Beach's newspaper, or one from another surrounding town.

We are all hoping that perhaps the funeral home will have an online guest book where we can post to console her family.

Also, if anyone gets any news of a trust fund opened for Lindsey, her daughter, please post that info as well. I am sure many here would like to donate to something like that for Lindsey. I know that I would, and also several of her other friends I have spoken to would also like to contribute.

[Zygala87]

Sharon I want to know Barb better. How can I read some of her blogs? Why did she leave our boards? GOD Bless her and her family. I am so deeply sad about this. I feel ashamed that I did not get to know more about her. Ziggy

hey how are you? I was trying ot remember the little city she moved to. Any information I can get from Leslie and get back with you as she grants me to do. I know on Facebook which I just found out she was there- I had been looking asking on ICN how do I get ahold of Bab RN. There she was on facebook just signed friends with some of old ICN gal just the other day. kara just talked to her last Wednesday on phone. So listed in Facebook she is from Orlando Florida..
I do know there will be no public memorial or funeral per family's request. It is private immediate family only at the family's request. Due to that request and their wishes Leslie will no be attending or enroute to Florida per famiilies request immediate family only.
So not sure on that obit. I looked that am Orlando Florida Sentinel no word. OK I go back see if Leslie has any updates check out that cocoa beach paper.

[snowgirl]

nothing in cocoa beach paper just checked it. From Leslie then I read what she posted and sent her post waiting to her. It is posted as Family Mass
Thursday 1000am, Divine Mercy Chapel
1940 Coureney Parkway
Merritt, FL, 32953. Not sure if that mass is open to her co workers and friends when I say she posted family mass.

Leslie been up all night has not slept at all. Vicky

[aprilchen]

Oh my gosh! I did not know about this! I just saw a Facebook post from Jamie. My prayers are with her, her family and her daughter. She was the sweetest lady ever!

I was told to pass on by your from Leslie who is in contact with her family. At this time nothing available to us. Family mass is on Wednesday now and is for just famliy. Nothing like obit available at this time per Leslie.
Leslie has not slept at all. She is going to take some ambien and shut her phone off. She is beyond exhausted and her phone keeps ringing. So I guess mostly FB people IC there calling her. She is going to sleep now.
Anything I let you know there is nothing. Family is being private and we need to respect their wishes at this time. Vicky

[DebbieB]

So sad to hear the news, my thoughts and prayers are with her little girl and her parents ..

[Iris]

I have been gone for a while and just today learned aboutthe death of Babs. I was sorry to read that news as I remember her from when I first started with the IC network, and remember how supportive and caring about others. I know it is a great loss for her daughter and for all of us who remember her. My heart and thoughts go out to her family and her daughter, she will be greatly missed, Iris:flower:

[traceann]

I don't even know what to say, I am in such shock - it just doesn't seem like it can be true! I am just so so sorry for her little girl's loss, her family's loss - our loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to all...

Love,
Tracey

[Katrina]

:pray::pray: Very sad to hear this...:( like many of the others she has been missed here and since I know she kept shining her light in all she did I am very sad to hear that her time on Earth has passed. :(

Zig...There is no reason for you to feel ashamed. She would be pleased to know that you care so much. She has been off the boards for a year. To learn why she left, read Jill's posts about her death.

Sharon, when I tried the link you posted, it gave me this message, "Sorry, no matches. Please try some different terms."

Zig (and others who wish to read some of her past posts), click on "Search" in the navy blue bar above. Then, scroll down to "Advanced Search". Then, under "User name", type Babs RN. You will be able to select if you want to read "Posts by User" or "Threads started by User". Then, if you want to only read her posts right now in a specific catagory, for example "prayer requests", then you check that box. If you just ignore the catagory listing, then it will bring up her last 100 posts. If you wish to read more after that, then, there is a box that will ask you the age of posts you wish to read. For example "1 year ago and older/newer" "6 months ago and older/newer", etc.

For those who STILL want to read more posts, (or want to even read every post she has here, rather than checking the "1 year ago and older" box, you can actually put in a specific date and then mark the box "and older.

You can also look at her profile, note when she first arrived here, (For ex: March 2004). Then, you can put THAT date in, and then mark the box "and newer". That should take you back to her very first post. Then, you will be able to read them in chronological order, should you prefer to do it this way.

The "search" and "advanced search" options are awesome! They are also really helpful if I want find a post that I have written (but cant remember when I wrote it), or if I want to find one that someone else wrote. Then, I just plop in the name and an uncommon word I recall from the post, and BAM! It pulls it right up! (Though often that "uncommon" word is a bit more common than you realize, since you also pulled up 7 or 8 other threads! :lmao: But, regardless, at least ultimately, you also found what you WERE looking for!

I hope I havent confused you (or anyone else) too much! (The fact is that I am more of a "doer" than an "explainer", so I am not especailly skilled in the explaining dept. :loco: Just hope you were able to to understand my scrawl well enough to find what you are looking for!

Take care,
Amararthe

[Anjita]

My thoughts:pray: goes with the family. That is so sad!!!

[tigger_gal]

I think out of respect for the family not going would be in the best interest. They may be doing this because Lindsey has Autism, and she will not be able to handle the over whelming loss, much less she isn't going to understand where here mommy has gone, just being a child alone, but with her disability and people that she does not know, large group settings are very hard for children that are Autistic. I am sure that this is the reason for their choice, not to mention Barbs death was a sudden incident. Maybe we can send flowers to show our support.

[SandyRN]

I don't have words.....there are none...except I think that life is very short and we should darn well remember that in the way we treat each other. No matter what, Barb was my friend, my VERY, VERY GOOD FRIEND and I have not stopped mourning since Leslie called me the other day. I fear for that poor child and pray she has a happy, healthy life as that is all that Barb truly wanted.

There just aren't words..................there just arent

[redfearn]

:angel:I am crying so hard right now. Barbara was the first and only ICN patient I have ever met. My Mother lives in Cocoa, FL and we met at the mall with her beautiful daughter several years ago. She meant the world to me. We would talk on the phone for hours. The last time I talked to her was 5 months ago. She was having a very hard time. I miss her so much! She is an angel still smiling and helping people. I love you Barbara~ May you rest in peace~ God Bless her Family! Someone please let me know how I can get in touch with her family as I want to go to her funeral.

Love Laura:angel:

Although,

I was just starting to get to know Barb, and I only wish I had more time, she was AND IS a wonderful, caring, kind, sweet spirited woman. I have had the opporunity to meet many people, and Barb stuck out to me in alot of ways. From what I knew of her, she was a wonderful person. A wonderful part of this world. I say this because it takes a lot to change someone's life and I know that Barb surely did this. I know she was a wonderful daughter, friend, mother and she had the kind of spirit that was forgiving. I suppose when you live a life in constant struggle, you learn to appreciate the small things in life and forget the rest. I believe she had a purpose in this place and as well as in heaven. And I believe that even from where she is now, she will continue to do so. I know that she had a love for what she did and I do know that her daughter was the biggest reason that kept her going. A mother's love never stops. I look at pictures of her and lindsey, and I see it. It takes a special kind of love and patience, when you have an autistic child. I myself, have a little sister close to Lindsey's age who has a form of autism. These children are very special and they relate to the world in their own way, its a beautiful thing...And I can see the sparkle in both their eyes. Your child is your whole world...and it is VERY sad that such a sad event has occurred, but I know that God & Barb will be watching down upon this special, beautiful little girl.

I also know that over the past few years barb became close to two very amazing people. Both people I have befriended, and I know why. Leslie and Christine. My heart goes out to them as well. I believe good things come in threes and that is what they were. As their close friends, I know how much they both loved her, and they knew her very well, maybe more than most. I know that they will hold close to all the great memories and keep her true spirit alive.

As far as services, I really understand the private service. Some families are private people and they want to have their time. I really don't think it has anything to do with lindsey being autistic. And to speculate that is probably not the best route. I only say this because I have personally spoken with leslie and know the reasons, but that is not important. What matters most is that we remember barb and support all who this has affected. I know many of you have had the chance to get to know her and we all should come together at this time.

In ending, i'd just like to say,

Barb will forever live on because she was my IC sister, she stood for everything I believe in, she was there for so many people, even when times got rough. She stuck by her sisters through thick and thin, she never let ignorance in the way. I am happy to call her an IC sister and an IC angel.

[Holly G.]

I am very sad to hear about Barbara passing away, she was one of the first ladies I had contact with after I found this site back in 2007. I was very scared and didn't know what to do and Barbara sent me her phone number and offered her friendship...we chatted for 4 hours...she was great! I had felt so thankful to have made a connection with someone who understood.

I will never forget her kindness. Her family is in my prayers.

[bigred]

May God give you a big hug at this time.

I just read the IC newsletter and heard about the passing of your friend. While reading all the messages I was taken back to last year when I lost Tracy. Your support for each other and Babs family will help get you through. I know it helped me. It has been awhile since I've been on but I think of all you beautiful people and share in your loss. May a cure be found so you can all have a better quality of life that you deserve. Again, my heartfelt sympathy to all.

[ilovekittys]

she was so young, I always felt I could relate to babsRN because I too have IC, THROMBOPHILIA (factor five leiden) I have one daughter, and Im an x-ray tech. I worry all the time about getting a blood clot, this is so devastating, I pray for her daughter.:pray::angel:

Dear Donna,

Thank you for your post. We all very much appreciate your logging on to express your sympathy. She was a very dear friend to so many of us here and we will all miss her very much. She was genuinely loved by all of us who knew her. She helped so many people here thru her compassionate and informative posts, and also by offering her friendship to any of us that wanted it. If someone was on here and they just needed a friend, more often than not, Barb would PM them and offer up her number. That's just how she was! She was the first one I "met" when I came here, and that's how I met her myself!

If the only contributions she ever made iin the world was here, she would have still contributed way more to society and making the world better, than most ever do! But, she was also an RN who was passionate about advocating for her patients and their rights to pain control. She fought for pain patients while on duty and off. She was a hero!

But, her biggest contribution to the world was her daughter, Lindsey. Barb was recently divorced, and had custody of her. (She and her ex lived several states apart. He is in the military, and was gone alot, even when they were married. He had recently returned from Iraq when they separated.) So a great deal of the time, she had to be Mom and Dad to her precious "Boo". It wasnt easy for her, being a single Mom, working while disabled and then coming home and being a patient and tender Mother to her disabled daughter, Lindsey, who is Autistic. But, she did it! (And without much of an "in person" support system.) Barb was just amazing in almost anything she took on!

I thought about Tracy the day we lost Barb. I am sure many others did too. It is just something none of us can ever forget. But, as much as it hurt losing them, it would have hurt much worse to never know them. They both touched so many lives here and we will never forget them!

I think alot of us are really worried about Lindsey and how she will handle the loss of her mother, as well as all of the abrupt changes in her life all at once of also having to move states, homes, schools, churches, etc. We ask that all those who pray will remember Lindsey in your prayers. She was the absolute light of Barb's life and brought her joy every day.

Again, thank you for coming here today to support us as we grieve for the loss of our IC sister and friend. I know it would mean alot to Barb that you came here too.

Sending you support too, along with a great big hug,
Amaranthe

I have been gone off the board for such a long time due to physical pain, I just logged in today and saw the post about Barb. I am so shocked, like so many of you, She was one of the first people on the board that reached out to me as a new member of the ICN Support. She was such a lady and a real trooper. I think she is one of the most caring people I have ever spoken with. She truly gave to everyone and I know that she is in heaven now with other loved ones. I join all of you in prayers for Lindsey and all of Barb's family members. I am speechless, except to say that she will truly be missed and like others have already said, we will all get to meet her one day and we will be out of pain and be able to share only good thoughts and happiness. I know that she is at peace now and that God will take care of her dear baby that has been left behind. I don't understand it but I pray for all of us, as the true loss is ours and those of us who still here. She will be forever remembered by many for giving of herself to help others during the time she had on this earth.

Many prayers for all the family and Lindsey, May God give each of us peace and help us to be more like Barb and most of all like our Father in Heaven.

Oh my Lord! I have been gone so very long and returned to read this. I am so saddened to hear of the loss of Barb. My condolences to her family and to all those that knew her. She was a lovely woman and I'm proud to have known her. May God watch over her little one all the rest of her life, as I know Barb will be.

I'm so saddened...

[Bessie]

I have not been on the board for a couple of months. I just logged on and read about our precious Barb. I am so heartbroken and shocked. I was blessed to have talked to Barb several times and shared Christmas cards with her and Lindsey. I am so sorry for her family, friends, and most of all her little girl. I know how special she is to so many of us here. She touched all of us with her love, concern, and true friendships. I don't know how to get in touch with Dancemom but if anyone talks to her, please tell her I am praying for her and that my heart breaks for her. I know how close her and Barb are and they were the best of friends. May God comfort all of us who knew and loved Barb and may she rest in peace. :pray:

I have not been on this site for some time, and when I came today to find a book, I found the news about Barb. I am so shocked and saddened by this sudden loss of such an amazing person. Barb and I used to talk on the phone for hours, and she was always such a great support. I feel for her family, especially her daughter. May God be with them and give them all the support they need now and in the future.
