I am so sorry to learn of Barbara's passing. She was truly one of a kind. Barbara had a smile that could light up a room and her excitement was truly contagious. I used to love it when she would come visit because we would laugh and I knew that the rest of my day would be great. Our thoughts and prayers are with her husband Eamonn and her family.
