On behalf of the American Legion, Department of Michigan, we wish to express our condolences to the Lord family for their loss. I had the pleasure of knowing Barb for a number of years along with her husband Art, who passed away six months ago. Both were very active with the American Legion, Sons of the Legion, and Auxiliary for many years, and just as they often worked together on projects for the Legion they are now together in eternal life smiling down upon us all from heaven. Thank you Barb, for your service and sacrifice to further the mission of our American Legion family.
