To Sue and the rest of the Barnes family:
I feel like I lost another connection to my parents with the passing of your Mom. I remember coming to your house with my folks, to visit with "Pode and Barney". Where did she get that nickname? Peggy and Mac McCarty, your folks, it brings back lots of memories of the "old days in Arcata" when the Barrel Factory was a major part of so many lives. Big hugs to those of you missing a truly special lady. Linda Haines and family

Sue, Jenny and family members,

I am proud to say I have her two daughters as my closest friends and I could...
