March 4, 2016 at 12:13 amCharlie, so very sorry to hear of Barbaa’s passing. I worked with her at CCB . After we retired from the bank, would see her at a Drs. office where I had Avon customers. Remember one day when I was delivering Avon there, saw this beautiful picture of a woman (Barbara) on the front entrance wall and suddenly Barbara walked out of an office and it was great to see her. She is a very special person and I know you miss her.
