I have nothing but love for you Barbara, I remember your eccentric laugh, and how easy going you were. I remember staying many evenings over at your mom's house, you used to let me play with your old dolls, or color. Knowing you in my later years was a joy as well, you always could make me laugh, and smile, you never made me feel left out, you always kept me included in the moment...thanks for all your unconditional love.
