So glad we got you know you and Barbara. We always enjoyed being with you, while our little doggies learned obedience. Our little Amy sure took to you right away. She still does not take to people that quickly, but she loved you for sure. Barbara, may you feel our LORD's arms around you at this most difficult time. Much love for our sister and brother.
