On April 11th you could have been 74 and we'd still have so much fun and laugh till we were sick. I've never had a friend like you and you didn't deserve what they did to you at Wayne Memorial. I found you could have the blockages fixed. I am lonely for you Barb as we were two of a kind. Be there waiting with our son Alan when I get there.

My darling sister, only 13 mos. younger than I. Went to the hospital alone (wish she had called me) with chest pains. She was told all she had was gas. This was a thur. night and by Saturday am' she was found dead behind her apartment house. Coroner said she had a heart attack, and showed evidence of a recent one. Can' get over it.

We were joined at the hip. I made you laugh easily. There were 4 children poor as churchmice but with a tiny mother who raised us. I love you so much. Give Mom a hug for me. Irene
