Barbara has been with me since DAY 1. I didn't know anything about the computer but like a trooper she hung in there with all my questions about "What do I do here?" "How do I...?" "What is this?" and the all knowing question? "Where to go?". I know so much about her that I couldn't even begin to share with you. She loves Manatees. When we started making our pages together, that was something that she wanted to put on there. Barbara has the patience of a dove. Her knowledge is unsurpassable and her personality is shy but yet bubbly. She is loving, caring, sympathetic when you need her to be, and a darn good listener. I have cried on her shoulders all this time. She is there to teach me to this day. She is there to wipe my tears, and to make me smile. She searches all the time for my graphics, and I am so picky about what I want, yet she never complains about it. We have all been through things in our lifetime and I can't say that any of my friends have been through the worst of it, but God put us through what we can handle, nothing more. God tested Barbara upon our meeting, yet she still never complained. Sometimes I feel that I don't tell her how much she is greatly appreciated. But now I hope this has changed. Barbara, for all that you have done for me, I salute you. And I give you this badge of honor. Please accept it as a token of my love and affection. And I thank the Lord for my gift of your friendship.
