I am deeply saddened to hear of Barbara's death. We were classmates at D.T. Howard High School. We have kept in touch through the years through class meetings and class reunion. It will be a different reunion next year without Barbara. May God be with her family always.

I was so saddened to learn of Barbara's passing. We both worked for the Atlanta Public Schools and interacted for many, many years, even after her retirement and when she began working part-time. She was a lovely, caring person and I enjoyed my affiliation with her. She will be sorely missed. Family members, you have my sincerest condolences. May God keep you strong.

Barbara and I met at Washington High School in the early 70"s. We became very close friends and remain friends until her death, I will miss laughing and talking with her. Her death places a deep void in my life. I send condolence to the family, especially her sons: Elton and J. J., brother, Hubert Stephens, and Sister, Mae.
