So sorry to hear of Barbara's passing. We were friends from PBUMC now living in Woodstock GA. I was so impressed with their love for each other, their family and the Lord. She was so talented, thoughtful, funny, and genuinely lovely!

Friends from PBUMC now living in Canton GA. So sorry to hear of Barbara's passing. She was a lovely, funny, talented, thoughtful lady and I enjoyed she and Fred immensely. Love to all the family - I think I met most of them over the years at PBUMC.
