Barbara DeGoey was the den-mother of my childhood neighborhood. I lived next door and always had so much fun going over to play with her son Michael and enjoying Mrs DeGoey laughter when she was watching the French Chef. She would also host a Ronald McDonald fair once a year to raise money for the Ronald McDonald house. She enjoyed organizing and working at the white elephant sale for Saint Theresa. Barbara was definitely a big part of making my childhood enjoyable when I was young. Thanks for the fun time Mrs. DeGoey and rest in peace. Billy, Condon
