Where to begin....Barb was such an important part of my time in Chicago. She was our "resident mother" and kept us in line. She truly had our best interest at heart for our education and for us as individuals. Barb was one of a kind and I'm sure that message will be echoed by many others. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and extended family. In deepest sympathy!
