I first met her when I was 15. Still friends today with her son and daughter. I will remember her for her smiles and free spirit. She had a wonderful exciting life. She gave all she had to the end. We all need to find comfort knowing she is now in a better place pain free.

Love always Barbara (Barbie) Kraus and Family
