The family is thankful for the thoughtfulness of all who made visits and phone calls; sent meals, cards, and flowers; and provided care during Barbara’s illness. Special thanks to the members of Machias Valley Baptist Church and to Community Health and Counseling Hospice Services for their excellent care during Barbara’s final weeks.
