    Sending condolence to Barbara’s family. I worked with her several years ago. She was a lovely lady, kind and considerate, she always had a smile and looked at life as a gift even through hard times. I just read this today. I am saying prayers for all who loved Barbara. I am sure she is in her heavenly home with Ed. Love to her children. She was such a proud Mom.?❤️
