With sympathy, I extend feeling the passing of my cousin Barbara as I still miss her peer, my sister, Becky. Long will I cherish the good times out families had together at Thanksgiving and many other happenings, including picnics at "the beach" and in our back yard.

Such a wonderful, positive, energetic woman! She brightened the gym each time she walked in. She was a bright part of my week…she is missed.
