Dear Storie Family,
We are saddened to hear of the passing of Mrs. Storie. I first had the opportunity to meet Mrs. Storie back when Mark and I were stationed in the Air Force together. I remember the Storie Family visiting Mark up at Loring AFB. They also opened up their home when we would visit. Barbara was a lovely lady and I know she will be missed dearly. My family will have you in our thoughts and prayers,

Steve, Dani, Matt and Chris Sines

God bless the Storie family. Barbara was a special lady. When my parents divorced in the mid 70's Barbara and Howie (and the entire family) were compassionate a loving and helped make a horrible time in life better. Mark will always have a special place in my heart as a friend.

Barbara was a special brand of person with strength and love being two of her best attributes. Thank you for being there for me. God bless all of you in this time of sorrow.

My deepest and most heartfelt condolences.
