I just found the notice online about Barbara’s passing and was so sorry to hear about the news. Barbara was always so positive and had great things to share about her family whenever I saw her. I will smile the most when I think about all the times that I was welcomed to share a table with her when Leon and Rich were playing at the same venue…and the games of pool that we desparately “tried” to play. I thank God for people like her in my life and I join her family in their celebration of her life. Take care, Michele
We’re sorry to hear of your loss. May the Lord hold and comfort you during this time.

TO the family. I am sorry for your loss. I have been comforted by the scriptures at 1 Corinthians 15:20 and John 5:28-29. I share them with you and pray that you also will be comforted. Please accept my condolence.
Please know our deepest condolences are with you, and all your family, as you grieve for and remember Barbara. Barbara always had such a friendly greeting and wave whenever one walked by her and Leon’s home on Andover Street. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
