    To Harold and family. Thinking of you at this sad time. I often think back to the days when I was working at Wes McGuffin’s store, in the late 50s, early 60s. When Barb came into the store she always lightened the day with her wonderful sense of humour. She was just a great gal. You will have many wonderful memories of Barb to help you through this time of grief. Sincerely, Beth
