The pain grows less day by day, but you will have moments that spring up unexpectedly. Joe, look me up if you ever need to talk with someone at work that understands what you are going through. It does help to talk, Trust Me. This is for the whole family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I always enjoyed helping Barb at the Oblates. She was very thoughtful and kind. It was an honor that she attended our daughter's Bat Mitzvah last year.
Barb and Chuck's famous carmel corn was a favorite annual treat.
Barb will be very much missed by all.

We have lost a member of our Dorr Street family. I remember how relieved she was when I told her the bike was insured after Charlie and Steve's "meeting" in the field. My thoughts are with all of you.
