Not sure what to say?

Dear Harry, Dan, Josh,
We knew Barbara as an active person, but did not realize how many wonderful things she had done. She and Harry are a shining light to us because of their courage and tenacity, joy of life and the ability to make the most of whatever came across their path. The world is a better place to live in because of Barbara and Harry's contributions to it! Thank you for everything!

Dear Harry, dear Dan and Joshua

what can I say?
I see you and Barbara walking through the streets of our little town. See her laughing, talking, being happy in those days of your visit. There will remain a fair and beautiful picture of her in our hearts.

Deepest sympathy
yours
Menna

Harry, Josh, Dan: this is a really lovely piece and I am grateful to see it. I knew Barbara mainly as a lovely personality; this gives a much bigger picture of someone who was an achiever and leader. Thank you for your efforts. We will miss her.
