We are sad to learn of Barb's passing. She always seemed so full of life when we danced with her and Dick many years ago. We loved her laugh and smile. Over more recent years, we would look for her during H'port Art Show with her grandson. It is sad not to be able to receive in person condolences during this time but know we send sincere thoughts to the whole family. Barb was a fun lady.

So sorry to read of Barb's passing. She & Richard babysat me way back when. They played Anagrams with me. What a wonderful couple they were!

We were so sad to hear of Barb's passing. We had many years of fun and laughs at polka dances with the Polka Magic Band. Our prayers go out to her family.
