My deepest sympathy to the family of Barbara. I just heard of her passing yesterday, or I would have been there. I met Barbara and John here at Mayslake. I found her personality very engaging. Loved her sense of humor. They are at least together, but I will miss her pleasant manners to others. Today is her birthday - so Best Wishes in Heaven Barb! - Nancy Westman-Oak Brook, IL
