Laurie and Gail and family. I was so saddened today when I received the notice of your Mothers passing. I thank you for sending it to me. Barb was a beautiful woman. We met way back in the early 70’s when we both worked for the CIBC. We had many, many fun filled days at work and carried on our friendship when I moved to Mississauga. Barb will always have a very special place in my heart. We did meet up on numerous occasions when Barb was visiting in Mississauga or passing through on her way to visit a relative. Bob, my husband and I had a lovely visit with Barb in Lethbridge not so many years ago when we were visiting Bob’s Mother in Calgary. We drove to Lethbridge to her apartment and she was very proud of it and showed us around and we took several pictures at that time. I still have some of Barb’s Christmas Letters that I so looked forward to receiving each year. Brings back many wonderful memories. Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. She will truly be missed. Gone but not forgotten. Gail
