I was so sad to read Barbara's obituary in today's paper. I became friends with her years ago through Lawrence Delta Gamma Alumnae Association and I loved and admired her. She truly lived our Delta Gamma promise to "Do Good," including among her sisters here in Lawrence. Such a warm, beautiful, brilliant, and caring lady! I will carry my memories of her in my heart always. May God bless you, her family, and bring you peace. Please know you all are in my prayers and will continue to be.
