I am so sorry to hear of Barb's passing. I have fond memories of her walking by my parents home and her stopping to say hello. Our prayers are with your family at this difficult time

I am so sad... Barbara was my best friend during adolescence and prior to school. I still have delightful memories of adventure around the neighborhood while growing up there on Irving St. I feel richly blessed to have known her for only that short period. My sympathies to her family and to all those who knew her.
