We are so saddened to hear of your Mom’s passing. I always felt blessed that my Mom chose her very best friend as my Godmother. Your Mom always held a special place in my heart. I thought she hung the moon. I admired her spirit and wisdom from the time I was a child visiting in East Hartford to our times spent together in Maine. She never seemed to age at all, always beautiful in every way. I was so proud to call her my Godmother.
It was a privilege to witness her lifelong friendship with my Mom. I loved all the stories that they shared. I have so many wonderful memories. I loved your Mom and every moment that I got to spend time with her. I too will miss her forever.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
With love,
Paul and Lorraine Kimball Maguire

I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember Barbara from when I was a little girl in northern Maine. I always thought her so glamorous because, among other things, she lived in Connecticut and wore dresses with waist belts. And I admired her dry humor (probably came in handy with Lloyd and three sons.) Such a lovely lady -- you'll miss her.
