My heart is sadden by the loss of Barbara. She was a good friend, not only to me but to many others. I always enjoyed visiting with her at the VFW and appreciated all the work she did for the vets. Rest in Peace Barbara, and a salute and tip of the hat to you.
Barbara was a wonderful lady and will be greatly missed. She was sincerely dedicated to serving our veterans, someone we should all strive to be like. My prayers are for your entire family.

I knew Greg when we served in the US Navy in VAW-13 in the mid sixties. We met Barbara at some Squadron Reunions. She had a smile all the time and helped many. RIP
THANK YOU Barbara for all that you have done for our veterans! You will be missed sweetheart! Taken too soon.
Barbara will be greatly missed. We had some good suppers at the Golden Corral and alot of reminiscing from her years growing up. I will keep her family in ny thoughts.
To Barbara's family, she was a dear friend and I thought the world of her. I was honored to present her with her Dist. Pres award last year for all the work she done in the auxiliary. I know I will miss seeing her smiling face at our Dept meetings and every time I stopped by the Post, she was there doing things. Barbara may you RIP and you are reunited with your wonderful husband. I love you my dear friend, but I know you will be watching over all of us, making us work harder.
Ginger,
I am so sorry, sending lots of love, prayers, and hugs.
