I have many fond memories of Barbara Sue! She hosted many slumber(less) parties, and was so much fun. She was a good friend; I am saddened that she is no longer on this earth. Blessings and sympathy to her loved ones.

I am sorry to hear of the passing of your Dear Mother. I have many found memories of Barbara and Linda Kay when we were young on Buchanan Street. Throught the years it was always so much fun going to Hi- Way Inn . Later I enjoyed working with Barbara at First National Bank were we were all one big happy family . What a great person your Mother was. May God Bless and protect you all. Margaret Biela ( Houston, Texas )
