I will remember all the memories/good times we had going on Fantastic vacations all together. We always had a great time and said what happens on vacation stays on vacation. We really have some funny memories to always remember from all of them. These two particular pictures were on a catamaran in the Virgin Islands and Yes - they have very funny memories of Barbara that go with each of them too. We all loved that trip!:heart:

I remember Barbara's laugh and her giggling over hijinks she and my sisters pulled while she was living with us in Michigan. Bye bye cousin. Give kisses to all you see now. Love you

All my memories of Barbara were made at St Marys when we were all just 13, 14, 15 and 16 years old. She was so funny and always kept me in stitches. We had slumber parties and talked about our newly found interests........as teenagers......we lost touch for a while and a few years ago we connected again. She said she always wanted to go t Cape Cod (where we were living at the time........we talked about making it happen....it never did.............I wish I had that memory..............May this very special woman rest in eternal peace..............
