Sincere condolences to Barb’s family. Barb and I matured together after my family moved to Clarendon in 1956. While I was in the Navy in Key West in 1962 and 1963 we corresponded regularly and dated for a time when I was discharged. She was a very fine Christian lady and I thought the world of her. She followed in my mother’s footsteps teaching mentally challenged children and had my total respect for those efforts. I only regret that we didn’t stay in touch through the years. I also noted Van Cliburn’s obit in todays paper and remembered that he was her favorite. May her soul, and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace!!
My deepest condolences to Barbs family. It was a blessing to have got to meet Barb and be a part of her life even if it was only a few months. She was a special lady and will be missed. Thanks Brenda and Nicole for allowing me to be part of your family ..RIP Barb
