Barbara was a classmate of mine from grades 1-12. She and I attended Auburn together until Phil snagged her. We were apart for 40 years until our only class reunion in 2004 where we got re-acquainted. She and Phil went out with us several times in the last few years and I came to know the real Barbara.

Dear Kathryn and Sam,
We just found out about your sweet mother. She was such a dear and so inspirational.

Love and Prayers,
Leck and Cindy Shannon

Barbara was a fine wonderful Christian lady and I still have the rag doll she made years ago for my daughter. What many talents she had. The Lord is getting a treasure.

Oh, what a treasure Barbara Lavellet was. I had the pleasure of sharing a Bible study with her a couple of years ago, and she left such an amazing impression on me.

Barbara was absolutely amazing. Such an inspiration to all. Her passing is a lesson to all us --- how to die with the Lord holding your hand. I will always think of her when I look at a flower. It is comforting to know that she is no longer in pain. She will not be forgotten

My heart is breaking in San Diego where we are this week. I'm so sorry I can't be at the service, but my thoughts are with you all. I was so fond of Barbara. She was so kind and thoughtful and a wonderful grandmother. We had some lovely conversations. She will be missed.
