I am so sorry to hear about Barb. It has been several years since I have had contact with her or her family. She was very special to me and taught me a great deal. Over 32 years ago she gave me the pet name Muf and I still use it today, only shortened. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all. You will be missed Barb!
Love, MF
