Rest In Peace Barbara. You were y very first best friend when we were growing up in Quincy. I aways loved ad admired you. I never had the courage nor the abilities you had. Oh to be able to do a cartwheel ! I still treasure the childhood memories of being with you and your family on Billings Road.

Barbara was my closest childhood friend and I was so saddened today when I went to send birthday greetings that one of her friends had posted on facebook that she had passed away. She and I were together every day until I moved from Royal Street, Quincy to Abington with my folks. I am the daughter of Al and Win Johnson who were also very close to Ingrid and Ivar. So sorry to hear that she died and am sending sincere condolences to Charlie, Ivar and Janice, sister Nancy and the rest of the family.
