Memories of Barbara....one of the most generous, compassionate people I've ever known - such fond childhood memories of her. Thank you Barbara - you'll be missed. Andrea Stamper

Barbara was a favorite cousin. I have wonderful memories of spending Sunday afternoons at our grandparents, as she told us in full detail of the movie she had seen the week before. Her soothing voice is a precious memory. Some of the cousins met at my mother's house a few years ago. Barbara was there, and we shared an afternoon of laughter and memories that I now find priceless.

Good bye my friend. You were the kindest person I have ever known and best friend a person could have. Without knowing you my, and my children's, life would not have been as good. You were always there to lend a helping hand. You will always be with us in our memories and hearts.
