My deepest sympathies go out to the Malia and Bower family. I had known Barbara for so many years, she was like a sister. What I remember most is her wonderful sense of humor, her great sense of loyalty and sincerity. Years and miles did not distance our friendship. I hope you find comfort in knowing that she will be greatly missed.

Bill,
I'd like to express my most sincere sympathy to you and the whole Malia/Bower family.
A favorite memory for me is the time Barb got You, Brad and me to go with her as extras in that FL lottery ad.
