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!

Make Her To Shine Like The Sun,
And Hold Her In The Palm Of HIS Hand.
