Barbara was a wonderful person and a great friend. I will miss her very much. She was an amazing woman who had been all over the world. Barbara was truly humble. I was honored having known her and feel I am a better person because of it. Barbara also had a full time care giver, Gladys, who cared for her and was with her every day. Gladys also became my friend through knowing Barbara. Sandy was another caregiver I met through Barbara and become friends with her as well. We all loved Barbara - she was a very special woman. She always had a special fur baby by her side. Mandy for 16 years, then Mitzy for 17 years, and most recently, Suzy. I know Mandy and Mitzy are in heaven being perfect lap warmers for Barbara. I'm truly honored to have known this woman. Rest In Peace, my friend.
