Julia Green wrote a sympathy message

“Barb was one of the finest, nicest, giving people I've had the pleasure of knowing. She was kind to everyone. She always had a smile on her face. She was always willing to help anyone who needed help. It has been years since I've physically seen her wonderful face, but we kept in touch by phone and mail. I miss her already! Judy Green”
