I remember your mother Barb. She was great friends with my mother Barb Outterson. They had much in common since both were married to ministers and had large families.
ReplyDeleteLove to all of Barbs family and friends!
I dropped off an ornament (unicef Joy) to Barb during pandemic as a little token of my mother’s memory a year after my mothers death (11/2019) I hope she got it.
Thank you, Anne. Your mom was a great friend to my mom! - Scot
