Sending our condolences. Barbara was a friend to Margaret my Mother-In-Law, also she had passed in the Fall of 2013. I imagine they are reuniting again. Barbara told me about the History of our House In Parkesburg where we used to live. She was very educated on the History of our 1905 Home. It was Interesting and kind that she shared this information, she was a unique Lady. Sincerely, Tina and Kevin Wilson. Prayers be With You.
