Barbara, I can't believe how time goes so fast. I am 65 but I feel as young as a teen. You will always be part of my life. Time does go by fast, but my memoirs of our friendship will last forever!!

Love you as much as one can.

Barbara it is ironic that you passed away on my birthday I never noticed this before), but I am sure you are smiling with that amazing smile of yours at me. I will think of you tomorrow with fond memorizes. I found an old year book and although you said I looked horrible I knew you didn't mean it lol. Are there any friends that are as intense as teenage friendships....You were special then and you are just as special now. *hugs to you..until we meet again. love john

I just came across this. Barbara was a close friend of mine at Congressional. She was the older sis I never had but I will admit I thought she was beautiful & sweet and all though we hadnt spoken for years she was always on my mine.
Playing basketball or football for Congressional she would make sure I was doing ok. We rode the bus together and 1 summer I stopped by her house in old town. I don't know what to say ......Barbara I will never forget your kindness & that wonderful smile. I am sorry its taken me this long to say goodbye. But I will look for you in the next world.
Love always,
john
