One of my friends from the old neighborhood called me to say that Barbara died. She live about 5 houses away from me on Valley St. I have many great memories of those days. Billy Keuretzky (sp?) lived upstairs. And I remember that her cousin Bonnie was there often too. We (neighborhood kids) would often sit on her front steps and eat sunflower seeds. I´m sure that must have been awful for the adults to clean up...but we didn´t think of that. We just had fun talking.
I have thought of Barb so often lately and interestingly I got her address from a mutual friend of Barb´s (Marree Boland). I was going to send her a surprise note. I didn´t know anything about her cancer or I would have acted sooner. Now I´m soooo sorry I didn´t reach out to her.

My deepest condolences to all her family.
