We are so so sorry to hear that Barbara passed away. We had sent you a christmas card and a personal letter, hoping to keep in touch, but it came back undelivered – can’t figure it out. We think about you very often, we miss seeing you, and we are very sorry that we have lost Barbara. I’d love to get together with you sometime when you feel up to it.
Love
