What a wonderful lady she was! I painted with Barb at Beverly's Art Shoppe. She was gracious, kind, and full of life. She told the best stories and jokes. I know that now she is at peace.

Dear Carroll: So very sorry to hear of Barb's passing; it is a happening which we all face eventually. I recall the great times we had on those Saturday nights ! Perhaps Barb and Jane will be playing a few hands of bridge up there.
With love, Don Stoffel
