Thank you to the friends who have shared their memories of my mother here. She truly touched a lot of lives. I was so fortunate to be the "child" that stayed nearby as she has been a huge presence in my life and I am blessed with many great memories that are a comfort now.

Barbara was a neighbor of ours when me and my family first moved into our home in "Cheshire Court". At that time my daughters were toddlers, Barbara always showed them so much love. My family have many fond memories of both Jim and Barbara. They were not only great neighbors but wonderful friends. We are blessed to have known them, and Barbara will be missed. Rest in Peace,
With Love
Martha, Buddy and the girls

To the family, may you find comfort during this difficult time.
