Living next door to Barbara for the past several years gave me the opportunity to know her kind and gentle ways. Barbara would occasionally take the time to come outside and chat when I went into her yard to visit the Briggs, and it is fortunate that I got to know her a little. My sympathy goes out to her family members.
