To Frank, Gene, and all of Barbara's family,

Grayson and I send our condolences to you on the passing of Barbara. I remember well her fun spirit as a young teen at St. Peter's Church where we were in Luther League together. I have not seen her often over the years, but it sounds as if she enjoyed life and her wonderful family. We know that God will be with you all at this time of sorrow.

Sincerely,
Grayson & Jan McNair
