To the family of Barbara Minto:
I hope you realize how special a person Barbara was. We worked together at Standard Oil for just shy of 10 years. Outside of work we also attended oldies concerts, did holiday shopping and lunches at some of the most interesting of places. Barbara was well loved by everyone who met her, and I share in the grief her loss has made and celebrate that she is at home with God (and Frank) in that mansion in the sky. Until we meet again, my friend.
