Not sure what to say?

A friend to the friendless; a patron to the poor; a defender of the defenseless, this was Barb McGeary. From the warm autumn of 1984, forty years ago, when this tender and callow fellow began HAMS as a rural country boy from 25 miles westbound, I remain her faithful student today as an old man, may I live up to her example. - Dick A. Kirchner HAMS `86 (Broadcast Journalism)

My sister Betty Hosack RHULE was friends with Barbara at Indiana and Clyde too.

Dear Clyde, I'm so sorry to hear of your beautiful Barbara's passing. I feel grateful for getting to know you both during our therapy visits. Her stories told me that her life was filled with alot of smiles and love. Your Friend, Kris Hull

I was compelled to read this lovely woman's obituary; she seemed like a lovely, intelligent, giving and loving woman. Her family is certainly blessed to have had her in their lives. God Bless.

A beautiful woman, a beautiful life. Thinking of you and yours.

Clyde, to you and Cyndi and daughters, ..our deepest sympathies to you all. May love surround you at this time. God Bless you all. Jack and Joanie

Barbara was a living angel who had a heart larger than life....sharing her love with everyone. I feel blessed that I was fortunate to know her through different times I worked with Clyde. As exquisitely, beautiful and intelligent as Barbara was she was the most modest person. I always felt that I wanted to be more like Barbara. She was such an inspiration as an art educator, community advocate and strong caring woman. Although Barbara may no longer be with us physical, she will live in all...

my deepest condolences to the family.
