Barb will always live in the hearts and minds of the DSP men. From enjoying her Yumbooos or doing shots of Wild turkey to celebrate after her Thanks giving day dinner. Rest in Peace Barb.

I am deeply saddened to hear about Barb's passing. She will always be remembered as a great friend to DSP. I feel truly fortunate to have had a close relationship with her. During my time as President, her support was immense and meant the world to me. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time.
