I came to know Barbara by her her daughter Revonda. I came to know her as a very strong willed woman who knew what and how she wanted the things done. I will miss her in our yearly income tax meeting. My condolences are extended to Revonda and all of her family,some of whom I had the pleasure of meeting over the years.
