Larry and family,
So sorry to hear about Barb's passing. We lost touch after her Mom, Aunt Annie and my mom, her Aunt Medaine went home to the Lord. Praying that you and the family will cherish your memories of her. Barb and her brothers were such a part of my late sister, Glenda, and my life growing up at their big house on the river.
