Rest in peace Barbara.

  3. My best friend Barb gone but not forgotten. We have been besties since primary school, together through our younger life then the teenage years, then we met John and Ken and married in the same year, such happy days. Then the big move to Australia, we still remained friends all those miles apart, we had our children the the grandchildren always had something to chat about,kept together by that invisible thread, now that thread has broken but you will always be my dearest friend and will stay in my heart forever. Rest in peace Barb xxx
