So sorry to hear of Barbara's passing on June 4. We last communicated on May 31, and she said she was not feeling well. Barbara was my mother's best friend, and maid of honor at my parents' wedding in 1948 (Margarita Isabel Overacker and LeRoy Allen Gant)
They remained lifelong friends, and after Mom passed away, Barbara and my dad visited regularly by phone and email. When dad came to live with us a few months ago, Barb and I struck up a correspondence as well. Barbara was lovely, supportive, and caring, and her passing is a loss to us all. I have spent a few weeks writing and calling, but I knew she was very busy.
My father passed away 2 weeks ago, on his 69th wedding anniversary. I hope he, Mom, and Barb are all reunited, laughing and enjoying each other's company as they did so many years ago when they were young.
My sincere condolences to all those she left behind.
Lisa Sylvia
