Dear Jim, Greg, Michelle and families,
I'm very sorry for the loss of Barb, your wife and mother respectively. The memories of her as part of Pack & Troop 31 are still fresh in my mind. Without her support we wouldn't have had Jim & Greg as part of our happy bunch of Scouts and Scouters. I also remember her as part of the group of prettiest girls of Carteret HS, Class of '55. I know that Viv, Diane and Maryann will miss you. RIP Barb.

Condolences on the loss of your wife and mother. It's hard when a man goes, but when a woman, a wife and mom, goes there's no defining it. I only know your Michele from when she worked at the PD many years ago, but I knew from her what a great family are the Krissaks.
