Melissa and Family,
I am deeply sorry for your loss. There are no words that can help lessen the pain you are all feeling. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
I have such fond memories of Barbara. She was my wonderful piano teacher when I was a child. I always admired my very kind, talented, young, and beautiful teacher. She was an outstanding role model. No matter all the decades that have passed, I always remember her. Thank you, Barbara! God bless you! With affection, Marilyn (kiddo)
