The tears I cry are not for Barb because she is resting in peace. They are because I know I'll never see her again here on Earth. I am so thankful to have known her the last 54 years. Our friendship was so close I loved her like a sister. Whenever we needed support we counted on each other. She was thoughtful, sensitive, and always willing to give of herself with warmth and generosity. I will cherish all of our memories until we meet again becacuse they were some of the best years of my life. She was the true meaning of "friend"!
