I enjoyed a wonderfully special sisterly relationship with Barbara for many years. She Dozier, Tami, and Chris embraced me and my daughters. They made us a part of their family and added much joy and love to our lives. I love Barbara’s courage in the face of adversity, her humor when dealing with challenges and her honesty even when being forthcoming was difficult. I love so very much, her daring to be true to herself and her convictions and to live her story. Thank you my wonderful friend and sister for being an important and steady person in my life. Thank you for all of your wise advice and for the fun we had talking, shopping and driving around Dallas. May God receive your beautiful soul. May those of us who are left behind never forget your amazingly positive spirit, your captivating smile, and your acceptance of people where they were without judgment.
I send my love to Dozier, Chris, Tami, Robert and family. Peace be with you.
