What a shock to hear of Mrs. Barbara's passing. She was always an inspiration to me to strive to be a better person....her beautiful singing and gentle spirit will be sadly missed by many! Love and prayers to her family and friends through this difficult time!

What a shock it was for us to find out that Barbara was gone! I can still hear all of her little comments like "Well, it's me again", every time she would stand and ask for donations for the charitable projects the Women of Bethesda participate in....or the time she told the new pastor, "I'm the trouble-maker." In choir, we always knew we had chatted much too long when Barbara would always remind us, "Let's pray!" This was in fact an effort to get us practicing so that she could get home in time to watch whichever of her favorite TV shows happened to come on that night.
I also know that Barbara's heart for the less fortunate was great. Not only was she instrumental in helping out with food drives and meal deliveries for the holidays, but she also helped to organize the school backpack program at Bethesda. Personally, my family and I have also been recipients of Barbara's thoughts and kindheartedness at a time when our finances were barely available even for paying bills. Barbara always looked out for us and our children. She will be missed tremendously!!
