Barb's Memorial Service

Just want all of you to know that Barb's memorial service was great. All the Lunch Bunch gals and friends from Hilhi, sat together in the third pew. During the service, it was nice to see her and Don's picture on the table right in front of us. It felt like she was right there with us. She would have been so pleased that we were all there. How she loved our get togethers. In fact, they were usually her idea.

Elaine did a fantastic job of ordering flowers for us. I wish we would have thought about taking a picture of all of us with them. As a few of us were walking out of the church, we saw the flowers and couldn't resist taking our picture with them. We thought Barb would approve.

Barb will be missed and never forgotten. All of us are getting together on May 10th, her birthday, to celebrate her. Sounds like a nice tradition to me.

Thanks, gals, for making Barb's service a pleasure to attend. It was nice sitting around the table at the reception, laughing while telling "Barb" stories. That is what I expect at my service .............. laughter, no tears!


Love to you all,

JO
