We are so saddened to hear of this news, Barb has always held a very special place in our hearts, those four short years at FHHS were the best of times. We shared in many double dates with Barb, Dennis and many others, just kids running around the west side of Columbus ready to take on the world. Barb and Dennis were always playing matchmaker and I must say very successful in many cases! Cheryl remembers sharing the interest of archery with Barb and her father Vernon at the range. To all of Barb's family we extend our deepest sympathy, she will truly be missed.
Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers

Today as we look on our walls, bulletin boards, and lockers at the pictures Barbara drew for each one of us we ponder a little longer and smile. She was more than just a patient to us and we feel privledged to have cared for her, shared stories with her, cried and laughed with her. She was a very special lady and we are all better people for having known her. From all of us we send our good thoughts to her family.
