I'm deeply saddened to hear this news - I only met Barb for the briefest of moments at Blade, and doubt she even remembered me, but it was clear that not only was she the life of the party, but she was loved by everyone around her. Today is a truly sad day, and the only thing that takes the sting away the tiniest bit is to know that so many from this community had the pleasure of knowing a truly exceptional lady. She will be missed.
