Sympathy Messages
To Barbara's family, Helen and Barbara were my good friends in Wychwood when we were pre-teens and later. I admired their parents Ed and Anita and spent time at the house her parents build in Wychwood. Barbara had a lovely family as a young girl and married a wonderful man. My sincere condolences to the family.
