Juanita, Yvonne, Christopher and Family,
I am sending you love, peace and comfort during this difficult time. Barbara was a beautiful lady. I will cherish the memories I had with her growing up in Bacon Cove especially her laughter. The last time I saw Barbara was in 2022. We were truly happy to see each other and chatted about the time I spent as part of the family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all especially Juanita (Sissy) and Yvonne.
