I was shocked to hear of Barb's passing. She was in ICU at St Marks when I moved to Salt Lake. I absolutely loved her. She always had a smile and kind words, I learned much from her and the wonderful team of ICU nurses. When she left ICU and I had gone to ACU I'd see her in passing and she'd always smile an say hello. My heartfelt condolences and prayer to all her family at this time. �������� Leanna ParksRN.
