This is the invitation that I sent Barbara when I graduated high school in 1988.  Of coarse I didn't expect her to come, but I wanted to send one to her anyway, just in case.  I was a dreamer at the time.  I never expected to get it back personally autographed.  It was the best graduation present I could have ever gotten...

This is a picture that I got back from Barbara back in 1995-96.  I had written her a letter sharing the news about having my fisr child and naming her after Jamie Nicole....My precious baby girls name is Delaney Nicole....Barbara has always been a big part of my life that I wanted my first child to be linked to Barbara's...Without Barbara's influence on my life..I would not be the mother that I am today...This was just my way of saying thank you to Barbara....
