Condolences to Barbara´s family on your loss. I worked at St. John Med Center where we became friends. She had a sharp mind & always dressed to perfection. She occasionally joined the SJ retired gals for lunch if she liked the restaurant we chose for the month. Here are a few photos I have of Barbara. RIP, friend!
