Barbara was a quiet, gentle, loving and forgiving soul. She was a good leader for our BBB's and knew when to rein us all back in on point. There was a personal time in my life when she was great support and lifted me when she knew it was what was needed. I will forever be grateful for the gift of Barbara and her friendship. I will miss her sweet smile. I know she is rejoicing in heaven today. Alleluia!!
