Virginia Trois wrote a sympathy message

“I say goodbye to my dear and beloved sister Barbara. We lived a great distance apart in mileage but were always close in our hearts. I will miss our long phone conversations trading recipes and talking about Steeler football and her hope that the Carolina Panthers would have a good season. Now she is with Mother and Daddy and our brother Albert. I hope they are looking down at me with a smile. I love you all and miss you all. Jinny”
