It is with profound sadness that we share the news of Barbara Caster’s passing on August 20, 2018. Our sadness is for ourselves as we will miss her dearly each and every day. We rejoice in knowing that she is in heaven with our Lord. Our greatest source of peace is knowing that she is in God’s loving embrace and reunited with her beloved family members who were there to welcome her to God’s kingdom.
