I did not know Barb as well as the other ladies that worked in her office. I was only with her a short time and she was such a wonderful lady. I am so glad that I got to know her and her family. May God Bless them all the days of their life.##imported-begin##Shellie Jones##imported-end##

I received and email yesterday from Tracy Gray Wight about Barbara's death. Reading made my heart hurt, as I remembered past good times and friends. I never knew Barbara as well as many did. Perhaps my father knew her better than I did. However, I did know her children--all of them. As I read her obit. today, I smiled as I saw familiar names and remembered some of the people who touched my life as a lost girl trying to find her way in a crazy world. Perhaps they touched my soul as deeply as Barbara touched theirs. As I sat and smiled, I realized that Barbara's love and kindness was cloaked over everyone there today celebrating her life. Tom and Denise, please know that I am thinking of you as you begin this journey of carrying on a wonderful legacy. You are all in my heart. Joe and John, I miss you guys!##imported-begin##Amy Woodland Reid##imported-end##

I guess you could call Barbara our "group mom" during my senior year of high school. You know, the cool mom who would let us party at her house. When I say party, though, I mean just hang out and be noisy and stay up really late, having fun. She'd rather we did it there, where she could keep an eye on us, than go off somewhere else and get into real trouble. That alone qualifies her for sainthood! But, she was more than just a group mom to me. She was just as much a friend to me as Tom or Denise were. When I went off to college, she and I wrote each other letters and had long conversations on the phone. I spent many hours hanging out with her without Tom or Denise, either at their house or at the Corner Shop. We often talked about Denise's judgement in boyfriends or what Tom was up to, but we also opened up to each other about our own lives, fears, doubts, and concerns. She always called me one of her kids, but she always treated me as a peer. That is what I'll always treasure about Barbara, and it is an example that I've tried to follow with the high school kids that I have had the privilege of mentoring the past few years. Barbara's gift was connecting to people one-on-one, knowing why they were uniquely special, and building relationships based on mutual trust, respect, and generousity. I never doubted that she loved me, and she never doubted that about me. I will remember her always, and her spirit will be with us always through the lives that she touched and, in turn, through the lives that we touch.##imported-begin##John Burkhardt##imported-end##
