Hello. My mother, the late Mildred Tutas, was one of Barbara’s first cousins. Barbara was always very kind to my mother, and my mom thought very highly of Barbara as well as Barbara’s mother Estelle. I wish to offer my deepest sympathy to Harry and all the Bradbury family on behalf of myself and my siblings. God bless.
