To Provost and York Families, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Barbara very well and the last time I saw her was the early 1960's. She had such a nice personality.......I was Marie Provost's best friend back then and I would like to reconnect with the Provost's as well. Please pass my info to Marie. I will pray for Barbara seeing that I discovered this sad story while looking for Marie.
God Bless!
