My mother (Barbara Blackwell) and I have been reminiscing about Barb. Such a joy to have known - from her days in New Haven and Trier Road to her time at Hudson's and Von Maur. Always greeted with a cheerful smile and lots of catching up. She fell into the category of a precious soul. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
