To all the Miranda family. Sorry to hear of your loss. May God Bless all the families with the strength & courage to cope with all the challenges due to this loss, even though every one was blessed to have her for all these years since 1980. I will always remember a wedding that I went to after her anerism and she was recognizing lot of the guests. To me that was the highlight of the day. God Bless her. That is a great picture of Barbara. She was a nice lady. Barbara RIP. May the family take care of each other.
