I just learned that Barbara passed away last night and I felt like I needed to write. Although we weren't close friends I watched her and found strength through her. I remember coming to my door one day and Barbara was there bringing me cinnamon rolls. I knew that she was going through chemo and wasn't always feeling great but here she was at my door bringing me treats! I should have been the one to be at her door!! She was always complimenting me on how great my skin complextion was. I know that sounds funny but we would be talking and just out of the blue she would tell me how great my skin was. This picture is of Barbara and her daughter, Tara at girls camp this year. Everyone was amazed that she came! She stayed one night went home the next day for her treatment and then came back the next day with chocolate chip cookies for all the girls and stayed that night. I remember her getting up to share her testimony and just seeing the hope and the faith in her eyes. She knew that no matter what happened, the Lord was there to guide her and to help her. She is my hero and I will always look to her as an example of strength and courage. Barbara, you will be missed!

What a sad story. She sounds like she was an amazing woman who was ready for whatever heavenly father had in store for her. Those are always people that we can learn and grow from.
