It was an honor to be her friend. She was generous, kind, loving, funny and we shared lots of talks. I will miss her all the days of my life. Rest peacefully, Barbara. Love Patty Batson

Barbara was a true and wonderful friend. We shared so many good times and I will always cherish those happy memories.
She was always helping people. Always there for me with good advice and a helping hand, when I or anyone she loved needed something.
I will miss her dearly.
