Tom, Even though I had only met Barb at our BC reunion three years ago, I am deeply saddened to learn of her passing. I loved her spirit and can see why she brought you so much happiness. Take care, you are in my prayers.

My Aunt Barbie (Barb as most know her) would always have a good laugh at the hilarity of the moment. She always knew how to make the best of things and uplift the room with her spirit. Her powerful presense will stay in my heart. I cherish her for the life of love and joy that she lead.
