We send our dearest sympathies to Ed and Barb's family on your sudden loss. Barb was a member of Messiah Stitching Sisters and excelled at her artful cross-stitch . We will miss her greatly. She had such a peaceful presence too. I wished I had copied her church famous cinnamon dough-roll recipe. With our love, Edna Allen, Sue Nagy, Pam Danklefsen, Suzanne Dudak, Alice Moat, Mary Intile
