Dear Willie, Kay and Jim, My condolences to each of you. I was so blessed to have had Barbara as my dear friend. Over fifty years have past since we first met at Ionia Junior high. Our friendship grew during high school. We went away to college, raised families, had careers and always remained friends. When we finally found ourselves "semi-retired", we could spend more time visiting and traveling to Florida and cruising in the Caribbean. That's when the real fun began. There are too many fond memories to mention here, but they will live forever in my heart. She may be gone, but never forgotten. She touched too many lives with her smile and wonderful sense of humor.
