Please accept my sincere condolences. My memories of Aunt Barbara are so vivid and sweet. All the Christmases that we spent at her house are embedded in my memory. I remember all of the formal dances that she and Uncle Paul attended at the Watervliet Elks Club each year. I looked so forward to seeing her all dressed up in those beautiful gowns. She was such an elegant woman. I loved Aunt Barbara and I will miss her.
