I'm sorry for your loss. Barbara Ann and I grew up across the street from each other on E. South St., Wilkes-Barre, and went to St. Ann's Academy together. We played all kinds of silly games that were popular at "the time", had sleep-overs, and loads of fun as well as "fights." She came to visit me once and I never heard from her again but I thought of her often.
