I am a friend of Barbara's and wish to extend my sympathies to her family. It was my pleasure to have met her grandmother, whom she loved so very much. She was a loving, caring mother, and grandmother and will forever live in your hearts. She will be shining on you all from heaven, until you are together again. May your hearts be filled with peace.
