So sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful cousin to myself and my 2 sisters, Charlene and Cheri.
I would just like to say to Jack I’m sorry for your loss Barb was a wonderful person she always had me laughing to Debbie,Scott,,Shirley,Rick, & Brenda your mom was the nicest person I ever met there was something about her that just made you wanna smile and listen to what she had to say she will be missed
I am sorry to say I never got to meet my Aunt Barb, but I have heard many great things about her and I am sorry that I didn’t know about her until last yea and I am still trying to figure out everyone and my place within the Vandry side. My biological father, Earl Jr. and mother Cheryl apparently kept it a secret until their passing and through DNA I have found many family members that I wish I had met, and many I hope to meet. I am sorry for your loss of Barbara and pass my condolences to the entire family. I am sure she will be greatly missed.
