No greater Lady ever! Barb was beautiful inside and out. You only meet a lady like her once in your lifetime! I don't know how she put up with me. A great Lady.

The Bible tells us that a good woman is more precious than rubies. This is what our Barbie Helen was to all of us. I have never known a woman to love and be more dedicated to her lovely husband, Jimmy, her family and friends. She was always there for all of us. She IS my sister from another mother. Her kindness, humility, warmth,sensitivity and her sense of humor was what made her a beautiful women inside and out. Heaven is richer. Not goodbye, Barbie..just, I'll be seeing you. I love you. Thank you for being there thru the darkest hours. Skinny Judy
