It's so hard to believe that Barbara is gone. Her spirit for life was amazing no matter what was thrown at her, tried to slow her down or what may have gotten dumped in her lap. She handled it. I had the pleasure of working with Barbara several times. She was the best office manager and assistant I ever had. Couldnt have asked for a better friend. This woman always put her family first, loved her children to the moon and back, I think her sister Sheri was her best friend and soul mate. She will be missed and loved always. So Barbara you rev your engine, squeal your tires and show heaven a little bit of fun. Rest in peace my dear friend. I know you will have a joyous walk to the pearly gates as I know everyone you loved will be waiting to walk with you. Much love my friend.
