Such a beautiful picture of Barbara. I am sure she liked it, because she was always very particular about her hair, etc. She was a very lovely lady and fun to be around. I used to pick her up for our luncheon date with two other friends at Gong Ho. She loved their food.
I am very sorry for your lose and mine too.
