So shocked and saddened by the loss of Auntie Barb, She was such a life force it's difficult to believe. She was a selfless and generous soul, so full of Joy. I will always remember the fun at the underground pizza place in the Peg and the dog days of summer up at Redditt, But most of all I will remember her smile, her whole face smiled and her great laugh that went along with her incredible stories. My thoughts are with you Colleen and Pat you have lost such an incredible mother, but be comforted in thoughts that she is now with Alan and watching over her family - Posted by: Karen Cleary (Niece) on: Dec 17, 2014
