Barbara and Jim were so welcoming to us when the NC cousins came visiting. We lost touch but have thought of Barbara often. Sorry for your loss.

When I moved to the Dalton Villas, Barbara was perhaps the first to welcome me. She made me feel like part of the community immediately. I so enjoyed book club and all activities with Barbara and Jim. She has been missed and will always stay like a special friend in my heart.
