dogpatch,

Thank you for informing us. I remember reading her book, Visions Of Glory, way back when. I believe it was in the mid 80's.

My thoughts and prayers are with her family,and friends She'll be remembered by many, many people.

I'm deeply saddened to hear this, Randy. Barbara gave an insight of the inner-workings of the Watchtower's headquarters from a female's point-of-view that was ground-breaking.

I would like to publicly thank you for providing me with her telephone number so I could have the opportunity to spend an hour or so speaking with her a few weeks ago. Although I could tell she was seriously sick, she was still articulate, witty, extremely modest and very much a lady. She invited me to stay with her should I ever visit New York again. I very much regret losing that opportunity.

Thank you Randy. Last year I was able to get her email address, and we corresponded for a while, though I think her health was really fading at that time. Her mother's closest friend, and one of Barbara's best friends as a young Witness, are still Witnesses and in the congregation I was an elder in for many years. So we had a few things - including writing - in common.

By a strange coincidence I found a copy of her "An Accidental Autobiography" in a used bookstore within a day or so of when we first began emailing. I was again astonished at what a wonderful narrative touch she had. I have read her "Visions of Glory," a few times, including several years when I was still an elder. I found her work very moving and accurate. I'm glad you have it available on-line.

She was far too young to die, and my sympathy goes out to her family and friends. She was a remarkable talent.

Thanks for posting this Randy. And for also letting us know how serious her condition was and that we could contact her in the short time she had left. I had a chance to correspond with her and tell how much her book meant to me. She was a fine author, and a fearless lady for sharing so much of herself in "Visions of Glory."

Randy, is there a way to get a messege to her family? I would like to send my condolences.

I don't want someone in my life I can live with. I want someone in my life I can't live without.
