I have not seen Barb for almost 40 years. I find as time passes and geography widens, you still hold your friends in your heart. It made me happy to be able to re-connect with Barb through Social Media. We had a nice phone chat the on the ninth of this month, and now she is gone. I am so glad I got to hear her voice. I will miss this Lady as I know her Children will. My Deepest Condolences go out to them.
