Barbara was one of my favorite people to golf with at Walnut Grove. We also had a great time at bingo! So saddened to read her obituary. Her void will be felt by many.
With sympathy,

Barbara was mom to one of my favorite people in the world. She was a class act and had a lot of mischief in those blue eyes! You´re probably joining George for 9 holes on a heavenly fairway even as I type this. Play a good game beautiful lady!
