I've known Barb since we were 15 years old, with many fond memories. We spent many good times going down the shore and going to drivein movies. I can still see Barb doing "the bump" in the 1970's in her earthshoes and we would also follow rock bands on weekends. She will be sorely missed, but all those wonderful memories will live on. Rest in peace dear friend.
