HAPPY BIRTHDAY dear sister, Barbara. You've been in your new home for a year now, and you would have been 83 today. It seems like yesterday we were kids having fun. I'm sure the pleasures we had then do not compare with the glories you now have in heaven. I love you.

Tomorrow will be 82 years since the day of your birth. Where did the years go? Life was tough when we were young, but we always found ways to have fun! Even in high school we'd get out in the yard and do fun things. This shows how I'd outgrown you so much by the time I was a freshman and you were a senior.

It just seems like yesterday that we were growing up in Monroe City, IN.
Barbara was a bit older, Nina was my age, and Georgia was a bit younger.
These three siblings were part of my life walkint to school and attending church together. "Memory is a gift of God that death cannot destroy."
My sincere sympathy to Barbara;s family.
