Barb, you were an inspiration to all that met you and especially to those who knew you. I can personally say that working with you left a lifetime impression on me to always keep my chin high and spirits higher regardless of the situation, good or not so good. Your light lives eternally on through those lives you have touched. You were my greatest mentor and will be missed.
