Dear Ashley, We are very sad to hear the news of your mother. She was a loyal co-worker and friend. I was privileged to have worked with her at Mary Ingles and Overbrook schools for several years. She was an outstanding secretary who knew her job well. She was an asset to the workplace in every way. Most of all, Barbara always made it clear that she loved you dearly and was so very proud of you. We are grieved to hear about her passing and will remember you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. -Bill and Darlena Reynolds

Ashley I’m so sorry about your mom. I talked with Bonnie Ruth this morning. Your mom was my cousin but we havent had contact for 10 years as I’ve been sick and so was she. I loved her very much. She was so good to my grandchildren in school. She and Bonnie Ruth and I grew up together. My deepest sympathy and love. I’m here in Charleston f you ever need anything. She was a wonder cousin and also my friend. I loved her.
