Frank & family,
So sorry to hear of the sudden passing of Barbara. Being a few years younger, I only got to make a real connection with your younger sister Pearl. However, I do know the true value of having a loving partner to walk beside you in this road known as life. May your memories sustain you in the days ahead, and may you realize that grief is just love without anywhere to go.
