Please accept our condolences for your loss. Aunt Barbra was loved by everyone. My mother and father were especially fond of Aunt Barbra and you Uncle Bob looking forward to your visits to WB. She had a sense of humor that would engage everyone and a great smile to go with it. I know you miss her and that is to be expected because she brought so much with her. But, you have wonderful memories of a warm and compassionate person who celebrated her family and her life. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
P.S. Uncle Bob, give me a call when you have time (610)353-6085. I’ve contacted Steelman so you may hear from him. Hope you’re healthy!
Don
