We will always have fond memories of Barb at Rainbow. She was always excited to come over and show Jim a new instrument and wanted him to play it. She always requested Jim & I to sing Silver Wings for her. She is now enjoying the rewards of heaven with her Silver Wings. Keeping you John and the family in prayer.
