My deepest sympathies for your loss. May your many memories give you comfort in the days and weeks ahead. I played bridge with Barbara and always enjoyed her company and friendship. I also had the honor and pleasure of representing her as her Realtor in the sale of her home in New Bern.

My deepest sympathies for your loss. My mother, the late Marge Cole, was a bridge partner and friend of Barbara's at The Park Oak Grove. She so enjoyed Barbara's friendship during the years they lived there together. (My mother lived at The Park and was an active card player there until a few weeks before her death in June 2006.)
