Not sure what to say?

Barbara was one of the first people I met when we moved to Dallas in 1982. We found that we had many common interests and a shared Michigan background.

I have made a donation in Barbara's name to the League of Women Voters of Dallas.

Please accept condolences from both my husband and myself...

What a woman, and my hero. I will truly miss this lady.
