    I’m so sorry to hear about Barbara’s passing. She was a fixture in the neighborhood. Barbara always watched out for my Mom, and was there to help with stray kittens. She had a heart of gold.

    We shared a mutual dislike for fallen leaves at the curb. I cleaned them yesterday, not knowing she was not there. She will be missed in the neighborhood. Her neighbor on the East.
