Our deepest sympathy to the whole family. I remember Barbra as a sparkling little girl and she must have been sparkling as a young adult too from all these tributes. We are saddened by your loss and will keep you in our prayers.

Barbra held an amazing place for many of us. She was always so full of life, and always so willing to help any of her 'kids' who needed advice, a listening ear or some time-out space. It is a sad day for all of us to hear the news. Love to Ryan during these tough times!
