My sincere sympathy to Barb’s family. We shared many memories. Our friendship started at St. John College. Barb always shared teaching projects. As my maid of honor, she helped plan my wedding. She and Ed were our great friends. Barb’s soft heart prompted her tO continue helping past students besides Mark and Tom. Frank and Mary Lou, she always appreciated your help, especially with the cars.
Liz, Barb loved sharing the dogs with you. God Bless You All.
