Oh Barb - how to describe a life in just so many words. You were quiet and shy, passionate and stubborn, you found joy in a kitten's smile or a napping cat. You loved taking care of the kitties and the shelter and, honestly, there were days I don't know what I would have done without you. Your smile lit up room. Your quiet strength and love for the cats (and dogs!) was an inspiration and a source of strength for so many others. I will truly miss you.
