Thinking of you today. No one told me you´d used up your 9 cat lives. You were not an avid FB user although I was glad to be your first FB message ever. Thanks for the friendship. And thanks for the help in college - you were a wonderful statistics tutor! Condolences and hugs to your family. Forever 21, Brian. love, your friend, Ruth Reaney Cornick Truhlar

I am sorry Carol for your loss. I worked with Barbara at the F. M. Kirby Center for many years with Barbara and we heard lots about all her children and grandchildren. So this is a part of us at the Kirby that hope you know you are thought at this time.
