My aunt was one of the most generous people I know. She was vibrant and interesting and always showed love to those around her. She hosted my father every Friday night for dinner after my mother died. Uncle Wallace and my dad were best friends since boyhood, and Aunt Barbara was also a big part of that friendship.
I got the opportunity to take several trips with her, Uncle Wallace, my Aunt Harriette, and my dad. She was a fantastic tour guide as she researched the places we were going ahead of time and shared with us the information she had gleaned. Our trips to Northern England and Scotland, Western Canada, and Eastern Canada provide many beautiful memories. She passed into eternal life on the first day of spring, which is fitting for someone who loved to garden and enjoyed pretty flowers. I will miss her very much!
