George:
We are so saddened to hear of Barb's passing. We really regret that we didn't have the opportunity to be with her more and get to know her better. She was indeed a lovely lady and after meeting her only a couple off times we both felt that we had known her a long time. She was easy to meet and easy to love. You did well in choosing Barb for your soul mate.
May God extend his loving blessings, comfort and peace to you and the children in your time of grief. We will miss her as well.

So sorry to hear of Barbara's passing. She and I were charter members of the investment club she started at UTM; a club that still meets once a month. She was a wonderful, caring co-worker and friend, and she will be missed. She loved to tell us stories about her grandchildren, and they were always in her heart.
Sincerely,
Annette
