Thank you Marilynne. This is such a wonderful idea. What a great remembrance of Barb. I didn't have much interaction with her but I did have a few and she was always great.

Thanks Elsie .. this is what I have been so darned angry about re Admin and their not answering me to have it posted on the MEMORY page ..
Sharon, 'wormslovesharon', suggested it be done like this :-)
Barb was just precious to so many of us ..

Thanks “M”
Barb was soft spoken and generous person, she jut radiated love and compassion. She shared her knowledge of quilting and knitting as well as her life experiences with us, not a day goes by when I open the Best/Worse and What did I Learn Today and the sewing thread that I don’t think of her..

She and Norm came and spent part of a week visiting with me, Lordy we even had a Norm crafting..although she was having difficulties with her breathing she didn’t let that stop her, with Norms care, making sure Barb had all that was required for her to join in we had a great visit, lots of sightseeing...oh what memories!

Was envious being in same room as she and Norm, the love they had for each other just radiated..Norm must be lost without her as does her family.

If more in the world were like our Barb what a world we would live in.

Love and miss you Barb!

Missing Barb - what a gem.
Glad you started this thread, Marilynne!

Thank you "M". This is wonderful and means the world to me and others too. She was such a kind and giving person. I miss her every day.

Barb was always positive. She was surrounded by so many neighbors that helped her and Norm. Why? Because they were such loving individuals. She was a wonderful person that always brought a bright spot to a thread. She is missed. And I agree with Betty Pause. If everyone were like Barb, this would be a different world.

Thanks for the wonderful tribute to a lovely lady.
She is missed by so many.
