Barbie was one of those people you could always count on whether it was to flash that smile that made her face light up, add something to the conversation or simply laugh at your jokes. I wish I knew her better than I did, but one thing I do know for sure is that she loved her family very much. I can remember hearing her talk about her family members numerous times. Barbie was full of ambition. I always thought that she would do something great in her life and she wanted to change the world. She did do great things and changed the lives of many other students and close friends. You guys are in my thoughts and prayers. We will all remember Barbie as the beautiful young girl she was and miss her bright smile.
