So sorry to learn of Barbara’s passing. I am going to miss seeing Barbara at the Fitness Center. We did classes together there for many years. And running into her & Lester at our favorite eating place in Carthage was always nice. She was a regular supporter of my monthly Fitness Center gals lunches. I appreciate her supporting me with this. I am going to miss her a lot. I will miss her smile a whole lot.
