I knew Barbara since we were teenagers growing up during the summers on Prudence Island. She was a friend and will be missed always.

Dear RJ and family,
I don´t have enough words to tell you how sorry I am to hear about your mom`s passing. From all the times my son Ian and I went to her house in the summer with everyone from Stop & Shop to all the birthday and Christmas cards she always sent me. She was one in 1 million and she will definitely be missed.
I´m so happy I got to see her one last time last Sunday and we both said I love you. I didn´t think it was gonna be the last time but she´s at peace now and with Nate. Sending hugs and prayers to all of you.
Love,
Cammy and Ian
