Read MoreSo late in the game for me to even be doing this.....but I owed her more than I could have every repaid. I was truly one of the most fortunate individuals ever....I had Bard for eighth grade and then again at the AP. One of the two greatest educators I ever knew. God gained a mentor when we lost her.......I think of her often.

I just heard the news when I was looking to find Barb to tell her the wonderful impact she had on my life. I am sorry I was too late to tell her in person. She was a great principal/director at Linworth. She will be missed

Barb created a 'home' for the students at Linworth, when some of us desperately needed a safe place to go. She encouraged personal growth, scholarship, and community - ideals that I continue to hold today. I credit Barb for creating a place where we all felt accepted for who we were, and for who we were becoming. She saw the passion and fires inside us and helped us follow our inner paths. She left the world a better place than it was when she came into it. May her light shine on for...

Like others have said, Barb was an amazing women, and such a great role model for students at the AP. She changed the lives of so many young people and the good works they have gone on to do are part of her legacy.No one could tell it like it was and build your self esteem like Barb. You are in our thoughts and prayer.

I was very sorry to hear of Barb's passing. I only learned of it today (7/27). She was a very positive influence in many lives.

I hope the results of my life can be even half as inspiring as what Barb did with hers. Barb's investment in Linworth will have a positive impact on generations. She had the courage to let us as children become adults on our own, and the wisdom to help guide us. Thank you, Barb. I wish I could have told you in person how wonderful a gift you've given me and so many of my friends.

I remember Barb as a dynamic, wise and fun-loving person. Her door was always open to us students -- not that she spent a lot of time holed up in her office. She was always walking around, talking to us, keeping her finger on the pulse of her school. She made the AP (and the world) a fantastic place to be.

My favorite aunt (Aunt Barb). A great lady. Loved her family and loved by her family. We will all miss her. She's teaching students in Heaven. Praise God!
Love to Dick and Dean.
