“My deepest condolences to all of Barbie's family, friends and beloved neighbours. I'll miss our Girls Only Weekends but will carry these great memories with me; eating at Pizza Delight, cooking Chicken Stir Fry (one of the only dishes she made!), playing mini golf, blasting Tom Jones, watching game shows and playing Scat every night. Love and miss you Barbie, give Uncle Art a big smooch from us. Love, Jesse Paine”
