You have my heartfelt sympathy. I will always remember the good times that we had in Florida and in Ft. Wayne. Barb always had great stories to tell.

Jim: We are so sorry to hear about the passing of Barbara. We sure enjoyed playing cards with you when we were first married, almost 65 years ago. And we enjoyed serving on the NSHS 1957 reunion committee with you both and having our planning lunches at Cork & Cleaver. Please know that our hearts and prayers are with you as you adjust to your life without your beloved Barbara. Yours, Jackie and Dick Arnold
