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.
