Bill, Neil and I are so sad to learn of Barb´s passing. She was such a special person with such a kind heart. We first met while you were living at Seabrook, a while ago. I just remember she had this beautiful smile with a twinkle in her eye, not to be forgotten. We will be out of town for the service which I hate to miss.
