Barbara has always been in my thoughts over the years. She is one of my favorite childhood memories of our time spent in Emerson. We played almost everyday...even when I had chicken pox she came and crawled in bed with me to watch TV!! She is such a kind soul and I am so sad to hear this news. God bless your family.
