I met Barbara at the Laurels in Steubenville – she was a wonderful lady – she just loved her Jebbie; I visited her a couple of times in the hospital and she always had Jebbie’s picture near her; I do hope someone takes care of Jebbie for Barbara since he was her life. I will miss Barbara and I often thought of her and wondered how she was doing- I will pray for Barbara Mary Steitz and Judy Adulewicz
