When I saw Barbara Jo’s pix in the Vienna Times, I was so shocked. I still can’t believe it. I can relate having been through losing my mom and dad. It will take time and love but you can eventually be happy again. My heart goes out to all of you. Robin, call me sometime.My number is 636-519-9190. I am retired now and you could also come to St. Louis to visit.
