Barbara. What a dear, dear friend you've been to me. We shared all the events of our lives with each other so freely and honestly, laughing and crying together, miles or years didn't matter. You will live in my heart forever. This I know, the world benefited from your time with us. You gave cheer, compassion, understanding and love wherever you went.

As one of the 'girls' I have many found memories of sharing birthday dinners and outings with Barb.
Barbara was a warm, wonderful, caring person. She will be sorely missed.
My deepest sympathies to the Coulter and Raber families.
