Barbie was not my sister-in-law, she was my sister. Her energy, zest for life, fun, inquisitive personality and love filled a room. Her heart and home were always open and welcoming to everyone unconditionally. Memories are filled with laughter, fun, nonsense, serious conversations and so much love. Heaven doesn't know what it is in for, but everyone up there is going to have alot more fun now. I love you Barbie and will miss you so very much. Thank you for the honor and gift of being a part of your life.
