Barbara was the embodiment of love. She radiated spiritual joy and communicated it to others in her own unique way. Her ability to empathize with others, whether in good times or bad, endeared her to others in a rare and special way. She will be greatly missed. Even as I write this, I can hear our Lord say,” Well done, good and faithful servant.”
