It has probably been 40 years since the last time I saw Barbara. But I will always remember her. She was my first kiss.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Barbara was always so good to me as one of the "big kids" on the block. I remember once when Kathy and I were playing dress up, your mom said we were too little for lipstick. So Barbara put some on and kissed us so we would have it on too.
She was so good to Adeline.
I'm very sorry I was unable to attend.
My thoughts are with you.
