I am so sorry to hear of Barbara’s passing. Dave & Barb was our neighbour way back 1970’s. One cannot ask for a better neighbour. They were kind and gentle people. We moved several times and sorry to have lost touch.
Unfortunaely my husband Ken passed away this past September.
My symphathy and prayers are with you and your family.
