To Miss Barbara's family, may you find peace in the months and years to come. Your mother led a wonderful life with the beauty she bestowed in her magic of painting. I thank her for the lessons she taught me when I took painting classes with her long ago. She was a wonderful person to all who knew her. Sincerely,

Ms. Barbara, you were a beautiful person with a fun-loving spirit. You were so talented, and my daughters enjoyed art lessons with you. You have always been a person that I admired and enjoyed visiting. Your son (Chris) and daughter-in-law (Valerie) have always been two of my best friends/ classmates. My deepest sympathy to Chris, Valerie, Eric, Shawndel, Elizabeth, Daniel, and all your grandchildren. You will be missed. God Bless!

Elizabeth and Daniel,
I met Miss Barbara many years ago through my mother-in-law, Mary Wascom. They were such great friends. Their get-togethers were like young girls from childhood. Her artwork is beautiful, and I have one of her magnolia prints. I am so sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Jack and Beverly Wascom
