Not sure what to say?

Barley serving as Practitioner and President of the Board at Center for Spiritual Living Tampa Bay.

Barley was a beloved friend, as well as a spiritual leader and teacher wherever she went. The community in Tampa will always treasure her connection to us and her impact will be felt for generations to come. Her love and compassion was tremendous, and I will carry her in my memories.
