My deepest sympathy to Barbs family. Barb and I worked at a flower shop together for a few years about 20 years ago. I have so many fond memories of that time…the quick wit,blue eyes and great baking but the best was her sense of humour, we would laugh till we cried..My thoughts and prayers are with you all.Sue Dawson

Jan, The other night we watched a movie on the life of Mark Twain.The actor who played his part bore a striking resemblance of you but more incredible was his relationship with his wife.
