I am so sorry for your loss, Hannah and Abby, Gary and the rest of the family. My heart is hurting so I know yours is. She was a beautiful woman.
Barbara was my friend and my real estate buddy. She was one of the sweetest, most caring women I have had the pleasure of knowing. I will
miss her so much. She said this to me every time we parted, "I love you, Partner" so to you I say the same. May God continue to bless you.
