I was blessed to have worked with Barbara in the late 80's/early 90's as a trainee Legal Secretary. She was so lovely, and supportive, and I learned so much from her. Not just about work, but also about life in general. An absolute diamond, no question was ever too silly, or pointless, she was a fabulous mentor. I credit her as the reason I was successful in gaining a promotion as a PA to Senior Partners in a huge law firm.
Sleep in peace, lovely lady.
Much love to your lovely family, may they be blessed in their hours of darkness and sorrow, in time, they will name you as the brightest star in the midnight sky.
