A wonderfully kind person who I loved to always go to her Open Houses just to talk to her and have her tell me where the market was going, and 9 out to 10 times she was right!
She was an Angel for her clients always answered any question I would ask her!
I am so sorry for your loss, but thankful I got to spend any time with her and your Dad!
God bless you and and all your family! I know she is in Heaven laughing and telling the great stories she had, she could make the sun come out

Barbara exuded "Class and Genuineness" and she will be remembered and missed by all who knew her. She was always willing to help and never expected anything in return. May our God continue to cradle her in His arms until you are reunited with her.
