This message is for Margaret – Margaret, I was so sorry to learn of Barbara’s passing. I enjoyed reconnecting with her a few year’s back and doing a lot of reminiscing and enjoyed bumping into her at Linden Ponds. I would love to hear from you. Again, my sympathy to you and your family. Kathy
I said a final goodbye this morning to one of my best friends in Junior High and High School. We played intermural sports together, were active in CYO and shared lots of laughs. She went on to achieve so much in her life.
I remember a week or so after she began Nursing School, she was home and instructed me on how to make a bed properly. I have never made those corners on the sheets that I have not thought of Barbara.
She was a bridesmaid in my wedding. It lasted for 56 years, Barbara. Say hi to Bill when you get there.
Your service was beautiful. My thoughts are with Peggy, Paul, Dianne, Matthew and Emma. You will be missed by all that were lucky enough to have known you.
