I have been a member of the Berks County Bar Association since 1982 and served as Secretary on the Board of Directors for three years 1992-1995 during her wonderful term of service. Barbara was our heart and soul, literally the face of our organization to the Berks County community and beyond. She loved us and we loved Barbara! Now upon her sad passing, may that love of her colleagues, friends, and family carry you from strength to strength through this time of grief.
