It's a tie.
We worked at Liberty Mutual together, seemed like forever, Mary Ellen, Char, Mickey, myself and Barb. After she and Rob got married, all she wanted was a child, and her GYN apparently was at Mercy Hospital which was couple blocks from where we worked. Every month when Barb got "her friend", she would cry, and cry and say "why won't the Blessed Mother let me get pregnant?" What do you say to someone like Barb? I told her these things happen in their own good time,,, be glad you don't have them yet, enjoy the time because after they come they are 24/7 nonstop....she'd say "I guess so"...next few months,,, same story, but one month she called me from the GYN's office and she was crying, and I thought to myself, "Oh PLEASE GOD, don't let anything be wrong"!!!!, and that's what I asked her, and told her stop crying so I could understand what she was saying....and BINGO!!! she said, I'm going to be the mother of TWINS!!....EVERYONE was elated for Barbara and Rob....I think I shouted it out before I hung the phone up, told her GREAT... see this is why you had to wait, one for EACH OF YOU to hold.....and know that LIFE AS YOU ONCE KNEW IT....gone!! <3 <3
I am so sorry to hear about Barb's passing. She truly was such a good and caring person. My thoughts and prayers to Renee, Chris and Kate. You had such a Great Mom. May she Rest in Peace........
Barbara, you took a piece of our hearts with you. We love you "Bab's"...Carolyn and Denis.
Sending sincere condolences to Barb's family...May she RIP...
To the Conway family - I am so sorry for your loss. Always had a good time with Barb at the French Quarter - many happy memories. God bless...
