As her little brother, I will always remember and love my older sister Barbara. On this 2nd year anniversary of her passing, I have now reached her age. Barbara always made room on her plate to help me which I have been eternal grateful! Her legacies have now passed on to her children and grandchildren. Thank you again Sis for always being making time for me. May you rest in peace. I am so very proud of the many accomplishments you obtained here on earth! Love to you always, your "baby" brother Bobby

I will always miss my older sister and only sibling. Barbara always had/made time for her younger brother. For me, I will always cherish her in helping me to make the transition from military life to that of academics. As we celebrate this first year anniversary since her passing, I just want to say, I LOVE YOU DEARLY!! -- Bobby

Barbara was my older sibling and only sister. As a child growing up and later as an adult, I always looked up to my sister and was quite proud of her many accomplishments. I later confided in her for advice on many issues. Barbara was an excellent listener for me on many subjects. I will always admire her as a parent. She will be sorely missed by many who came in contact with her -- certainly me, her brother. I will always love you Barbara.

Barbara was my Grace Kelly. Her photo was prominently displayed on our mutual grandmother Hankla's TV set in Radford, VA. Perhaps because of that, I have always looked up to Barbara as an example of how to be. She will be missed and loved always beyond measure.

My first cousin, Barbara was always loving to my husband and me, opening her home to us on wonderful occasions of fellowship and fun. Jack and I send our love and condolences to Barbara's children and grandchildren. This is a tremendous loss.
