So sorry to read of Barbara's passing. Met her many years ago at Riverton holidaying with family.
My daughter Talia, who is a resident at Bainfield Park, was trying to tell me if her passing, but with her head injury, was struggling to find the right words. Loved Barb coming into the bank, dressed immaculatey, in pink, and we would always have a catch up. A beautiful, vibrant lady, laid to rest. Treasure her memories, and there will be many. Condolences to the family.
