Barb, I was actually thinking about you a couple days ago. Your mom ran through my mind. I'm very sorry to hear about her passing. I lost my mom as well on Oct. 16th this year. My deepest sympathy to you. God Bless.

Barbara, My deepest sympathy to you on the loss of your Mother. I worked with your Mother at the telephone company many years ago and became acquainted with Ruth Brown thru her. I have thought of her many times over the years. You may not remember me as you were a young girl at the time. My name used to be Sells. Sincerely, Rose Catron
