Dear John and all your family:
I'm shocked to read of Barbara's passing ! I'd known her since we were little girls in Pleasantville, when she lived at the corner of Van Mar Avenue & Shore Road. Even though she was Catholic, for a short time she sang in the Junior Choir with me at Salem Methodist Church in those days. We graduated together in '54 and I think we saw each other at the 50th Class Reunion in '04, but I'm not sure. I send my sympathy to each of you in your loss--she was a lovely gal and too young to leave us! She left quite a legacy in 6 children and 14 grandchildren. May your memories sustain you and give you strength in these sad days. God bless you all.
