Barbara was a wonderful lady who had a very pragmatic yet positive outlook on how to approach the game of golf.... step up, hit the ball, enjoy the day. I will miss her humor and insights on how to play the game.

The gift of Barbie and Sincler to me was a childhood full of fresh air, horses, freedom, friends and flying through beautiful fields of fun. I am forever grateful for every second of those times. I knew then and know now just how lucky I was to be that kid in their world on Belle Grove.

Barbie and sinkler were a dynamic duo. Tuck and I enjoyed our visits to saluda to let him reconnect. They will be sorely missed!
“From the initial meeting and throughout our different times the attentiveness was nothing but outstanding.”
