Barbara was a very nice lady. My sister Lisa is married to her son Mike. She was always warm and friendly to our family. A lively woman that looked years younger than she was. When ever I visited NJ - it was a joy to watch her interact with her grand daughter Sarah. I know that she will be greatly missed. My prayers are with the family.

My sister Shirley and I used to play with Barbara and "Brother" when we were kids. We swam in the Metedeconk River at my Aunt Elearnor's (Barbara's Mother). We were all very young and in the summer we were living the carefree life in the good old days at the River. Memories!!!
