How good to "see your voice," Marie. Yes, many years since we've been in touch. Wish we could go out for a cuppa.

Barbara's kith and kin are all next door in her apartment, and it's a veritable demolition derby. A bit heartbreaking to see bits and pieces of a life being carried away in boxes. They were looking at old photos of themselves when they were adorable little tots and Barbara, beautiful and young, with her blond hair and a big smile. All of her life was rich and full. She graduated from Goddard college when she was 70 years old, having completed a novel! She never stopped reading and learning and being interested. Some woman!
