My husband John Wilkey and I met her when she and her family came to Laws Chapel Methodist Church outside of Atlanta, Texas. Her personality kind of took us all by storm with her honesty, her sense of humour, her boundless energy, and her willingness to help in any situation. I truly loved Barb, and will miss her until we meet again.
