I was very surprised to read about Barbara passing.
Her daughter, Donna & I were very good friends when they lived in Baton Rouge.
Her brother was very young at that time.
Barbara was always so sweet & kind to me.
I lost track of them when they moved to New Orleans.
Donna if you read this I am so sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing.
Please get in touch with me.
Would love to catch up with you.
I am living in Austin, Texas now.

She will be truly missed. Just found out about her passing. I knew her when I had an apartment on Bourbon street next to hers. She taught me the correct way to boil crayfish. So many stories I could share. A very special lady. Glad I knew her.

Tammy, Tony, Chris, Spencer and family, I send my prayers, love and sincere condolences to you at this very difficult time. I have been friends with, and have loved, Barbara for some sixty plus years. She was so very special in my life. In the past few months I have especially cherished my visits with her. Thank you so much for sharing her with me during those most special times, including her last birthday. When she left she took a part of my heart with her. RIP, my dear Barb! Mighty Mouse is now standing for you...for real!

And Hold Her In The Palm Of HIS Hand.
