Aim so sad to hear of Barbra's passing, I was so great full to have her teach my children at creative play school. I then followed her to honey tree, she was the only one I felt safe with my children, I had so much respect for her as a teacher. I always enjoyed running in to her around town, she would always ask how the kids were doing after they had grown up. She was a great lady, she will be missed. Marilyn tebbettts.

We were sad to hear the news that Barbara had passed. She was a delightful neighbor when we lived on Crescent Drive. It was always fun to see her latest decorations as she kept up with the seasons - especially the witches on the breezeway at Halloween.
Although we have moved, we still received a card at Christmas with the news from Bridgewater. Our condolences to Walter, Bill and Jen and families.
