Barb was a dear lady who struggled with illness for a long time but her resolve and determination was an inspiration to me. We first met when the cemetery office contacted me about "a lady who is looking for a relative". I called her & we chatted quite a long time. Between phone calls and e-mails we got to know one another.
I told her about Find A Grave & she became a Member and was hooked. Unfortunately, the state of her health did not allow her to make it to too many cemeteries but that which she did, she enjoyed
We finally got to meet in person when she & her husband, John, took me to a long leisurely lunch. Just before her latest illness she & I tried to straighten out the inconsistencies in the North Andover old burial graveyards here on Find A Grave. We never did finish that project....
