I loved my Auntie Barb!! My heart breaks for those left behind. She was such a kind and gentle soul. Adored by all who had the chance to know her. I have such wonderful memories from childhood. Auntie Barb was such a crafter, enjoyed playing games, was such an amazing hostess - always opening a tin of some home baked goodies when I visited or creating a jellied salad. :) I remember summer dinners at the picnic table in the backyard, turkey dinners at Christmas and lots and lots of laughing. Auntie Barb and my mother would just giggle and giggle whenever they were together. That's what I will remember - the laughter.

We are sorry to hear of Barbara’s death. As her next door neighbour our parents enjoyed living beside Barbara and Don for many years. You will miss her.
