It was great to have the Cherry family as summer neighbors on Big Round lake .Learning to play guitar with Mike and getting to know Barb the "summer of 1968". She was a doll. She will be missed by family and friends.

Bill and family,
I have good memories of working with Barb at NRC. She shared her "church ladies" chicken salad recipe which Is my favorite. I make this salad often and always think of Barb when I do!
May God give you strength and comfort as you adjust to life without her by your side.
