My condolences to the Meyer family. Barbara was a good friend to my mom back in the day, particularly when they were both a lot younger. In fact, believe Barb was in my moms wedding, some 70 or so years ago. I know they lost touch in later years (my mom, Alice, passed in 2008) but I know my mom valued their earlier friendship. I had met her and Al a few times over the years; they were just wonderful people. So sorry for your loss.
