Barbara was my best friend since we were 5 years old, inseparable... the sister I never had. So smart, always "one-upped" me in business classes, shy but quick witted and funny, compassionate to a fault with a huge heart, especially for animals. Barbara met Jim, the love of her life, in our senior year, married after graduation, gave birth to a beautiful daughter, worked alongside her husband for 18 years in his auto repair shop. Throughout the years of our many life experiences, we two remained the closest friends imaginable...we were the true definition of "Family". Jimmy, Kelly and I have a huge void in our lives now...we miss her so much, but are grateful to have been blessed with her presence.
