Memories and Condolences

John, Kevin, Tobin and your sweet families - I'm still in shock over hearing of Barbara's death. She was one of my all-time favorite people. When she and I started working behind each other, we immediately bonded. It was like we had been friends all our lives and we did laugh and have so much fun together. I hate I had not stayed in touch more and as I was hanging an ornament on my tree last night that Barbara had given me years ago, it brought back such good memories of her wonderful humor. I loved her dearly and I grieve for all of you. I know what a void this leaves but I hope, as time passes, the happier memories of all the joy she brought, will overtake the sadnest that you feel right now. You will be in my prayers and on my heart during this holiday season. I feel richer for having known her. My love and deepest sympathy to all of you. Carolyn Boylston
