Mon Oncle, Mark, Lynn, Steven & Lisa,
I think I am still in disbelief. I can't believe that the lady who treated me like a queen all during my young years is gone. However, she still lives in our hearts and for that we have to be thankful. She was a wonderful wife, mom, grandmother and aunt. To all of you I send my deepest sympathy. She will be greatly missed by all of us. Love, Cindy & Mike

Frank and I have known Barbara since we moved to Exeter. We worried about moving to Exeter where we knew no one;this strange land of trees, farms and nothingness was scary. There were no street lights! Then we met the LaCroix,Gouveia and Allen familes. Their kindness and friendships made us feel welcomed and secure ( we weren't alone) Barbara's kindness and generousity during our time of need greatly touched our hearts. Barbara,you will be greatly missed. We send our condolences to the all family members.
Love,
Dennis Gauvin
