I was lucky enough to meet Barbara when I lived in Carterton for a few years. She was part of a group of some of the most fabulous ladies I have ever met, that created a special place. Barbara was a truly fascinating person, and her passing leaves an extra bright star shining now. Rest in peace. Biggest of hugs to her whanau and friends.
