Dear Chris Hinds and the Smith family,
I was greatly saddened to hear of Barb's passing. having been a long time friend of Joe and Barb's. Though we lost touch in recent years, it was my great pleasure to have known her and several of her relatives and certainly several of her friends. God rest her soul and give Joe a big hug for me when you meet him in heaven.

To my best friend and side-kick of 46 years, I love you always and miss you now. You fought so hard! I dedicate this song, "Goodbye My Friend", to you:

Oh we never know where life will take us
We know it's just a ride on the wheel
And we never know when death will shake us
And we wonder how it will feel

So goodbye my friend
I know I'll never see you again
But the time together through all the years
Will take away these tears
It's O.K. now
Goodbye my friend

I'd see a lot of things that made me crazy
And I guess I held on to you
You could've run away and left, well maybe
But it wasn't time and we both knew

So goodbye my friend
I know I'll never see you again
But the love you gave me through all the years
Will take away my tears
I'm O.K. now
Goodbye my friend

A life so fragile, a love so pure
We can't hold on but we try
We watch how quickly it disappears
And we'll never know why

But I'm O.K. now
Goodbye my friend
You can go now
Goodbye my friend

XXXXXXXOOOOOOO Kirsty

To Sue and family:
My heart goes out to you and your family. I feel as though there are no appropriate words to express how I feel other than that I am so sorry for your loss! She loved her family so!
May you find comfort through the love and support of friends and family. And may you find that the loving memories of her will help you get through this difficult time.

Barb's courage was a true inspiration to me. She was a loving mother and was dedicated to her family regardless of her personal struggles. I'll never forget her. My thoughts and prayers go out to Don and her wonderful children.
