    Barbie, I am so glad we were able to reconnect and share childhood memories, our love of animals and chats of everyday life. You had a huge heart and I will remember that most of all. I know you were greeted by your beloved daughter, Samantha, whom you never stopped missing. For that I am happy but you sure will be missed here with us. God’s speed. xoxo, Peggy

    My most sincere condolences to the Kidwell and Wallace families as you morn and cope with the loss of dear Barbara. What a wonderful person and animal rights activist she was. I survived a 40 year career in the oil business and have traveled the world. I cant remember 1/3 of the memories and recall all the places I have been. The happy childhood memories of growing up next door with Bubba and the Wallace Family in Adelphi are etched into my heart, and those I clearly remember today and will cherish forever. Thank you FaceBook for allowing old childhood friends to reconnect and allowing a time to say hello again. I am blessed to have had Bubba as a childhood friend in my life journey. May she be in the comfort of heaven and look down upon us and know how much she was loved and how she touched our lives. God be with you Bubba!
