I had the honor of knowing Barb for many years through the community and church. She was a friend to many and we could always count on her sense of humor to bring joy to the room. Thankful for her! Prayers and condolences to the Ford family.
Sorry Ford family. I have alot of good memories with Barb especially the Ford reunion in North Carolina many years ago. She would never let me lie about my age. Haven’t heard about any of you for years. Would love to catch up sometime. Please share my email with Penny. You will all be in my prayers. Bonita Davis
