So very sorry to hear the sad news of Barbara passing. She was always so much fun and full of life. She loved her children, grandkids brother and sister in law more than anything. Every time we spoke she would always speak highly of each of them. We shared many great times at plays, concerts, excursions on the water. She always had a joke to tell or a funny story. And above all she was a fighter when it came to her health. I will miss my friend.
