Barbara, thank you for showing us how to live fully in the present. You did not just sip at the cup life, but drank deeply from all ends of the world! I always enjoyed hearing about your travels and shipboard adventures to all seven continents! Your friends will miss you. Bon Voyage!

Barbara:

Words cannot aptly express the sorrow I feel now that you are gone. I will miss you very much. I guess I will just pretend you are on another one of your fabulous trips cruising around the world! You truly did in one lifetime what most people could not have done in twenty. You were one of the strongest, smartest, most unpretentious people I have ever known. Your sheer will and determination over the last five years left me speechless more times than you could have counted. It is a pleasure and a privilege for you to have called me friend. We will meet again.

Love, Sandy
