Dear Vinny and Family.
I'm saddened to hear of Barbara's passing. I worked with her many years ago in New Hampshire and have many fond memories of her. I have often wondered through the years how she and her family were and what kinds of things she was doing. I know we shared many laughs - she was a great co-worker and has been missed! I hope that you and your family finds peace and is able to celebrate Barbara's life through happiness with your own fond memories. She will be missed.
