It has broken my heart to see the passing of your dear mother. I shall always remember her quiet peaceful nature and your's too Cathy. Thank you for the wonderful memories in Great Bridge so long ago! I hope you got my card I sent this past winter which I sent to your old home address I found by accident looking through some of my things.

I taught with Barbara at Rena B. Wright for many years and always found her to be cheerful, kind, and a pleasure to be around. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

To Barbara's family,
I had the privilidge to work with Barbara during the 17 years I was at Rena B. She was a great teacher and always tried to encourage others. She always put the children first. Her patience and beautiful smile will always linger with her memory. I'm sorry for your loss. Please know that there are a lot of people who will carry a little of Barbara with them always.
