    Sorry for the family loss. The family is in our prayers and thoughts. Barbara and my Momma Clara Bell Chandler Allen went to school together. She has told me lots of stories about Barbara and them. Barbara was a good lady and friend. She will be missed by all that knew her, but her memories will always be in our hearts.
