I met Barbara and her husband Knox on a trip with Barbara's younger sister, Joan, a few years back. What I loved about both of them was a very tender, down-to-earth nature they both seemed to have. Very good people. Our heartfelt condolences to all the Ellingham and Burrows families, but especially to our dearest friends, Joan and Joyce.
Tony Denman and George Delyannis.
