Barbara Jean Strickland Cristobal, 69, of Mountain Home, died Saturday, January 20, 2007, from cancer, at a local hospital.

Barb had a real battle with cancer, I was really hoping that she would win, and was sorry to hear that she didn't. For those of you who don't really remember her, she was the receptionist at John Bideganeta's office for 29 years.

She was funny, sweet, kind, and helpful, I sure will miss her.
