October 28, 2020 at 6:28 pmBarb was a lovely, and caring woman. She led a full life and was enjoying her move to Boise with family and friends. Barb was strong enough to overcome some health problems until COVID proved too difficult to conquer. Barb had an interesting life one story she told me as a young woman living in New York during the “Beatnik Era” and what fun they had. She and her pals went to small club in Greenwich Village and saw a young Harry Belafonte before he was famous. She remarked that he was a handsome young man and he could sing. Barb will be missed by all who knew and loved. I believe she and Peter are together together enjoying an evening Martini. Rest in peace, sweet lady.

October 29, 2020 at 4:00 pmYou will be greatly missed, never forgotten! Rest in Peace Barb.
When I come to the end of the road
and the sun has set on me,
I want no rites in a gloom filled room,
why cry for a soul set free.
Miss me a little–but not too long,
and not with your head bowed low,
Remember the love that we once shared,
miss me–but let me go.
For this is a journey that we all must take,
and each must go alone.
It’s all a part of the Master’s plan,
a step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart,
go to the friends we know.
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds,
miss me–but let me go.
