We are thinking of you and sincerely hoping that time and warm memories will help to ease your sadness.
We have wonderful memories of Barb from all our visits with you through the past years. We loved just sitting on the back porch chit-chatting while having morning coffee and our walks in the evening over to the farm with Buddy. Barb will always be in our hearts. Wish we could be there to hug all of you. In time the warmth of good memories will replace the sadness that is in your heart today.
Hugs to all of you, Love, Lorraine & Lou
