Condolences & Memories (1 entries)

Hi Barb and John. I was thinking of you this morning Barb. I'm not sure what prompted the memory as it is the dead of winter. A far cry from those days spent around your pool soaking up the summer sun and a few drinks as well. I assumed you were probably married and since I didn't know your name, I looked up your mom and dad. I was so sad to see the obituary. I could just hear your Mom's laugh as I looked at her photo. That was a beautiful tribute to her and from what I remember spot on. Your mom and dad were very special to my family and I think one of the few that my dad considered as real friends. I will never forget how kind your dad was to me when he met me at the airport when my dad died. He sat with me until the bus came and he was so gentle and comforting. They were very special people and I'm so grateful to have known them and so grateful for those warm summer days by your pool. I hope life has been good to you. A voice from the past.
