Grandma I wish things would´ve went differently but I assume they went just the way they were meant to. Know that I love you all the way up there, all around me! And give grandpa my love and tell the boys I said "hi" :) until we meet again....

I always enjoyed the many performances that Barbara gave as well as the interviews she did featured on the dvds/blu rays. What a great film career. She will be missed!
