BARBARA WAS SUCH A LOVELY LADY. SHE OFTEN COULD BE SEEN LOOKING OUT HER LARGE PICTURE WINDOW MAKING CERTAIN THAT MY DOG,(RILEY)AND MY HOME WERE IN GOOD STANDING. I COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR BETTER NEIGHBORS THAN "THE GAGNONS". YOU SURELY WILL BE MISSED.

Barbara was such a wonderful neighbor! She & Bobby were the friendly caretakers of their Summit Street neighborhood and will be missed dearly.

They were such generous people and a joy to visit with often. I feel fortunate to have known them. My thought and prayers are with the family. Love, Karen
