Barbara was such a good friend both to my aunt Ethel Richards and to my mother Betty Richards--and at many times good friend and mentor to me. I am sad to know that she is no longer with us--but really, really want her beloved family to know how much she meant to some of us outsiders !! - Posted by: Nora Richards Francis (friend and neighbour) on: Oct 03, 2016
