What a lovely lady Barbara was! I worked with her for many years at McCallum High School and always enjoyed our conversations. Having just learned of her passing, I missed her funeral but I would like her family to know that she will be
missed.
What a great picture- I remember that smile!

Special friend with a happy spirit. We shared happy times together with our families, camping,
lots of domino playing. and maybe just talking while the kids played. Love you girl! Be at peace with your family in Heaven.
