So very sorry for your loss. I submitted a photo of Barbara and Janie Clark at our home on Sanders Street. She was a classmate at Manual. So much fun and a wonderful gal.

My sympathy goes out to the Finchum family. Barbara lived across the street all through high school. We had such good times. Her mom always fixed our hair when we went out dancing. So sorry she is gone.

May God be with the Finchum family. We had lots of fun when we were younger and our husbands worked for the Indpls. Water Co. We loved you Barb and we love your family. May God give them all peace.
