I worked briefly with Barbara many years ago and it seems I just saw her and enjoyed a lively conversation with her a week ago. To her family I want to say she was a good lady and since she became ill she has been missed; out mowing her yard, running into her on errands, and just enjoying conversations with her about local happenings & folks was always a pleasure. My sympathies and I am so very sorry I did not hear of her passing in time meet some of you and share some stories. I have only fond memories. In sympathy and sincerely
