Karen and Michele, I am so sorry for your loss of your wonderful mother. I will always remember Barbara with a smile as I recall her fun sense of humor and her gift of telling funny stories. And of course her wonderful cooking. I hope all of her family and friends will find peace in remembering what a beautiful person she was here on earth. We were all honored just to know her.
