Barbara suffered from a life long illness known as CRS, but if you gave her time it would come to her... even if it was at 1:30 in the morning. She was a Jack of all trades, could utilize any space, a good cook and great baker, loved them Xmas cookies and the stupendous chocolate chip cookies. When she baked she loved her tunes. Actually she loved her tunes at any time, especially Elvis! Barbara was the one to vent to, shoulder to cry on and laugh with. She was the milk to our cookies.
