Barbara and Sonnys life started together when they were married in the living room of my parents and I was still in diapers. What an awesome ride it has been. Barbara will now join Sonny for their eternal life together. A special thanks to Ken and Gerald for ensuring Barbara was cared for and their wisdom to ensure the care givers always had Barbaras best interest. Barbara is in a better place now, may she rest in peace and God rest her soul.
