So sorry to miss her funeral but my thoughts and prayers are with Barbara's family and friends as she makes her final journey. She was a great fighter for the people of Camden, for her fellow workers and for all working people and three times a distinguished Mayor of Camden. It has been a pleasure to have known her for many years. Rest in power.

I was privileged to have known you, Barbara - from one Mayor of Camden to a wonderful Mayor three times over!
