Aunty Barbara was a wonderfull part of my life growing up. She was a great friend (and Part) of my family. she could walk in a room full of strangers and before long walk away with a new friend or two. her great personality and sense of humor was the envy of everyone who knew her.
She'll be in my heart forever
