Lounging  at the back of  the Cruise ship with Barb and watching a group of dolphins follow behind in our wake was a treasured magical moment.

Happy memories with Barb and her colleagues crabbing together in St. George Inlet in Alaska.

Bears were not plentiful,  so Barb shopped around a gift store and spotted some.

June 2011 Barb traveled to
Alaska for a cruise with teaching friends, Linda Swift,Claudia & Mike Feeney. Linda and Barb celebrated with a lovely bottle of wine in their cabin.

Auntie Barb was an amazing bonus mom. I’ll miss her phone calls and her laugh. She was always a big support to me, but especially over the past 5 years. I already miss her terribly.  May her memory be a blessing.

So sorry for your loss.  My best friend’s sister that I’ve know over 45 years.  All the ups and downs, your mom was a trouper.  She loved her two children and adored her two grandsons.  She was fun to be with and will be missed.  We’ll see her again, of that I have no doubt.  God bless

Love, Fran & Rich
