They didn't know each other suuuper well (points to eyes, points to you, whispers next time), but she could definitely tell Barnham was a good person! Based on what she knew about him and what other people told her about him, too.
She had a generally positive impression of him before she died, but perhaps ironically, it was things that she learned once she got to the train that made her admire him more. One of her first threads when she arrived was someone else telling her that everyone needed to die to get on the train, and that because of this, Barnham was planning to basically kill everyone. (I can't believe murder sprees are being talked about in a positive context, THANKS WHOLE ASS!!). Regardless, while she has mixed feelings about whether that would have been the right thing to do, she has to admit that it took a great deal of strength to want to protect people from that truth for as long as he did.
Of course, the other side of that is that she believes he tried to take on waaaay too much by himself. Please take a nap and have some hot cocoa, justice dad, you've earned it. She touched on it in their last thread in the train, but she really is glad that it was him who found out about that rule, because she's pretty sure that all the people he killed as a result were taken out quickly and as painlessly as possible. Which is why she was pretty vocal about how he shouldn't blame himself, even if she definitely gets why he would be feeling pretty horrible about the whole thing. She'll just have to write him constant letters telling him not to be stupid?? Seems legit.
