I went to school and graduated with Barb. What a wonderful person. We met over the years at Dalton High School reunions and it was always a pleasure to see her and everyone from Dalton. Over the years our class of 14 (11 girls and 3 boys) scattered all over the country but our memories of Dalton and each other always and still do remain..

Dear JJ, Lee and Billy and families
Your Mom has been in my thoughts for the last few weeks, and now I know why. She was a wonderful woman and I learned so much from her the summer I was privileged to be her live-in nanny (1965). All three of you hold a special place in my heart.
May you find comfort in the happy memories you hold dearest to you. This is sent with my deepest sympathies to you all.

Brenda, I am so sorry to hear of Barb's death. I have very fond memories of many happy times "back in the day" I know you have many more and I hope they comfort you. Losing a sister hurts so badly. They hold a very special spot in our hearts. I'm sorry I can't see you Friday but sending hugs and love from both of us.
