Spend time at her lake house. Went to Mexico several times. She helped plan Todd and my wedding her and Todd grew very close. After she became ill we flew to Missouri to visit her and many times in Vegas. We spoke everyday until she passed. A huge hole in our hearts is left we both miss her. She was a loving and caring woman. We will love and miss you always and never forget you ❤️
Barbara and I worked a lot of gigs together. I was borned on 12/22/1935 and we often joked about that. She was a wonderful person and I thought the world about her. RIP my friend
I attended St. Marys high school with Barbara. I so admired her musical talent. She was a caring and loving person whom I’ve always felt blessed to call her my friend.
