Dave & Stacy: I'm at a loss for words - Barb was a wonderful person and I loved all the fun we had at the Bob Hope Classic days at Security Bank. The best part was teasing her about being married to a Polak and how I felt sorry for her with me being a Polak. SMILE!!!Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you both at this trying time.
