My condolences to Barbara's family, although  I did not know Barbara well, I remember in HS she was always pleasant and ALWAYS had a smile on her face.

Barb was a real sweetie.  I enjoyed knowing her in high school. She always had a smile on her face.  I'm happy to know her life was so successful and she surrounded herself with happiness.  I can't figure out why we are just finding out about Barb's passing now, 14 months later.

Barbara was a good friend.  We sat together in most classes since my last name started with a "B" also.  Although haven't been in contact through the years, Ihave thought of her often.. prayers for all of her family.
