I am a friend of Barbara´s from IRS in Kansas City Missouri.
I just heard of Barbara´s passing last night.
I am so sorry to hear and will definitely miss our talks and hearing about her trips and her family. I also miss her trips to KC and lunch at Gates.
Through the years we exchanged Christmas gifts and she sent me some of the most beautiful black angel´s that I cherish and hang on my Christmas tree every year
My condolences to all of her family and especially her children and grandchildren that she loved so much and talked about in all of our conversations
when we updated each other on our families.
May my friend rest with Jesus and the angels. I will miss her.
