Barbara was a longtime friend of mine, as well as a stand in "Mom". One of the best female Corrections Officers that I had the pleasure to learn from; she was fair, and tough when she needed to be. Barb loved shopping and traveling and eating out at various places. She was the most loyal woman as a Friend..and loved her children and Grandchildren especially! Barb, I will miss our talks, the adventures; the Gingerbread cakes..(she was the best cook/baker)...and I will never forget you or the things you taught me. Rest in Peace my dear Friend..with the Angels.
