Dave, Jim, Mike and families
My sincere condolences and deepest sympathy to all.
If Roses Grow in Heaven
Pick a bunch for me
Place then in Barbara’s arms
and tell her they are from me
Tell her I love her and will miss her
and when she turns to smile
place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for awhile
Because remembering her is easy
I do it everyday
But there is an ache with my heart
That will never go away.

Thanks Barb. for the many happy memories. The “TWINS” were a joy to be with. So much fun. Bell’s lake rang with laughter when we gathered there. Bar Head bar was never quite the same. I do believe we were thrown out one time. We can thank Dee for helping to bring them into the world.— or not. .
So thankful to have had some great talks with Barb. this past year.
love you and will miss you, especially your colourful language. Can’t pull your finger now.
To the family, you are in our hearts.
