My son Adam attended your German language class at Palo Verde High School. After the initial shock of that horrific day we learned of your heartbreaking fate and it somehow made the unthinkable more real to us. Putting a familiar face to these tragedies and learning how beloved you were made the pain even more intense. As an educator you made a positive and lasting impression on so many. A life well lived and taken much too soon.

Your passing on board American 77 is just sad to me. I am sure you were a good high school teacher, and I recently paid my respects to the lovely teachers you met in heaven from the Sandy Hook tragedy.
One of them was Vicky Soto, who was so brave saving the lives of little kids in her classroom from the gunman. See you in the afterlife someday.

Hi my name is Desi, I go to Shanley High School in Fargo, North Dakota. While I was reading about Barbara I saw that she taught French and German in a school in Las Vegas which I think is very unique thing to teach. I think its great that since she lived in Germany, she gave her knowledge and skill of knowing the culture to a school full of students. I also read she was a very joyful person, which is a great quality to have as a teacher and mother. Im sorry for your loss, she did great things...

Teachers are such an influence on so many people. I have always loved and appreciated anyone going into that profession. I stop today to say thanks to Barbara for all of her work, and to offer a prayer of encouragement to all of her friends and family. Much love from Texas.

Our thoughts and prayers for the family and friends of the Edwards family and all of the families whose lives were forever changed on that tragic day. I hope my photograph in some small way can inspire some individuals to visit the memorial and help keep the memory of Barbara and the others etched in our hearts and souls. I have already received notices of plans to visit the site. We are in this together. Godspeed to all.
