Although, I'm not a part of the family, I still feel like I am. I was married to Barbara's brother J.B. I remember when we first got married and went to see Barbara, she would always give me a gift. We would go to town, and she would ask if I liked something and if I said yes, the next thing I knew it was mine. When I was expecting my first baby she made dresses for me. Barbara thank you for the memories.
