To Tia, Barb's children, and her parents, I offer my
condolences. I was a customer of Barb's and had been trying to get in contact with her since April 11, 2023 to schedule a hair appointment only to learn this morning that she had passed away. I am so sad and shocked over this. I did not know. Barb was such a sweet person and a good hair dresser. It was a priviledge to have known herand to have been her customer. She went out of her way for me. I will never forget her.

You were a breath of fresh air when I met you at Raphael´s. You gave the best advice and was one of my instructors who became a dear friend. Fly high love. You will truly be missed by all who graced your presence.
