Her legacy lives on in you and your family. Praying the Lord will bring you comfort and peace and that your cherished memories will bring you joy.
So sorry to hear of the loss of Barbara. She was a great lady and I will miss talking to her.Whenever she and Larry did our hay she would always come by and want to see my garden and we would talk gardens. She will be sorely missed by many.
So sorry for the loss of your dear loved up. It’s a terrible thing to give up someone that you love so deeply. My thoughts and prayers for each of you.
So sorry to learn of Barbara’s passing. I shared two years with her while she lived in Idaho as a
young girl. We picked many a bag of potatoes “spuds” to make money in the fall. My condolence
to Muriel, Helen and Kenny. I know you will miss your sister.
Your cousin Lois
