I would be hard pressed to find a more kind and generous soul. It was such a privilege to get to know her over the years as you all would stay in Augusta. Prayers for all of the family, especially Bill.

Our prayers are with Bill and the entire family. Barb was such a great friend, and a great neighbor. She was so supportive of us when both of Gaby's parents were ill, and when our daughter was battling cancer. Always concerned with those around her. We will miss her smile and quick wit.
