Barbara, my oldest & dearest friend. As our mothers were best friends we have known each other for the past sixty-four years. I have so many happy memories from being little girls, to our secondary school days (they were the best!) & all through our adult life as we shared so much together.
You had such energy & passion for life, enjoying time with friends & family especially with your 3 lovely daughters & beautiful grandchildren who you adored & brought you so much pleasure.
I will always remember that mischievous look in your eyes, your glowing face & lovely smile which you kept throughout your illness.
You faced your illness with courage, determination & battled bravely to the end.
Thank you for being my lifelong friend, rest in peace reunited with your loved ones. Good night, God Bless. Elaine Knowles.
Dear Babs you were a ray of sunshine in our writing class. Everyone enjoyed listening to and reading your stories especially the recollections of your life and childhood. Such humour and empathy. A special, vivacious lady we will miss you. Love Jane X
