Barbara and I shared great times in Junior High School. We especially bonded together when we were labeled too "endowed" to be cheerleaders at Miami Shores Community Center :-). As roommates at FSU during our freshman year, our lives took different directions; but I will always remember her playfulness and great sense of humor. Fond thoughts and many blessings to Barbara's family...

What a blast it was to go to Barbara's house and hang out in Junior High School. I remember many parties on the back patio. Not only did Barbara make you feel welcome but her Mom was a lot of fun. God Bless you Barbara. You left a positive foot print.

Wow, I often wondered about Barbara Reeder? I haven't seen her since the 70's! We shared a house in Miramar. She was so talented, and very pretty with that beautiful blonde hair of hers.
She was a Gentle Soul.
My Prayers go out to the family.
And always remember...
at the end, we all have to leave and go home.
Happy Trails Ms Barbara.
Love Always, Annette xox
Once in a heart...never apart.
