Barbara was a great friend to me. She taught me so much through the years we worked together. She was a wonderful manager, and loved every child we fed. She always made sure the food not only tasted good, but that it looked good as well. I'll cherish Barbs memory forever. She was very proud of her children and her grandchildren, she spoke of you all often.
My deepest sympathy
