It was with sorrow that Clay and I learned of Barbara's passing earlier this week. I,Margaret, met her at Camp Pattersonville when we were on staff the summer of 1962. We had just graduated from college. As the years passed we saw each other at 1st Presbyterian events . During my Mom's later years Barb cleaned house for my Mom. She was cheerful and lived her life carrying the aroma of Christ with her. We send our sympathy and prayers to Len and family. She will be missed. We will meet one day in Glory.

Our condolences to Leonard, Beth Ann, Marcy, Lindy and grandchildren. We have been friends since 1968 and our families have grown up together. Barbara has been very dear to us and we have many wonderful memories. We are so sad that she has left us but know she is happy in Glory. Love to you all, Pam and John
