Gary, I am so sad to read of Barb's passing. Although due to COVID I haven't seen her (or you) much in the past year I will always remember her amazing spirit. She never gave in, always seemed to love life and always had that incredible smile on her face. My heart goes out to you and your family.

So sorry for your loss. I wish I had words to ease your pain. I will miss her bubbly personality. She always loved to talk about crocheting and crafts!
