Barbara told me she was born at Neubert on the Danube, Germany. She made the most wonderful pastries I ever had the pleasure of eating during my entire life. She was always so full of vim, vigor and vitality. She "worked circles" around everyone else as she had so much energy. Barbara and R.L. were always so glad to see you. We ran into each other a lot at the grocery store and it would always be at least an hour 'gabfest' to catch up on the whole family. Didn't get to see them after they moved over to assisted living I miss you and R.L. so much.
With love,
