I remember our time together at Texas Womans University and the yearly Christmas letters. What a shock when my letter was returned one year. I still have the picture of her with Hilary Clinton and remember her laughs and wonderful stories of her burn patients. There is truly a bright and energetic gymnastic angel in heaven.

I miss my sister more and more every day. Such a passion she had for the medical field and patients along with her gymnastic judges and students.

Barbara was a person of deep compassion and boundless energy. She was passionate about her work as a CHT with her burn team at Temple, and working with gymnasts.
