I had the privilege of knowing Barbara when I took a class at the Upper Valley Career Center Adult Center for Logistics training about two years ago and I Barbara always helped me out when I had trouble with some of my coursework and she helped me to better master things on my tests that I had trouble with and I was really shocked when I saw in the Piqua newspaper that she had recently passed away and she will be dearly missed by me and by all that knew her! I would like to pray for her family in this time of grief and loss and may Barbara rest in peace,from Jason Christy of Piqua,Ohio
