Barb and I met at Pizza Hut on Capital Hill in 1980 (I think), lived in the same building, got married, had children and grew to be adults together. 

Her impact on my life is immeasurable. 

I tried to apologize for not staying in touch when we met last year for the first time in along while. She said she felt the same and, “Don’t worry. I know you love me.”

I do and I always will. 

Miss you my friend.

Barb's favorite quote:“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.” - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
