Barbara was a wonderful, spirited line dancer. She enjoyed dancing and her enthusiasm was contagious. Her favorite [though she had many] dance was Candida. When we dance Candida we now think of Barbara, a wonderful friend, dancer and truly inspirational woman. We will miss Barbara - her wonderful smile and her love of life.
