  1. Barbara. I am so sorry. This is your friend of long ago. I found out about you just yesterday. So so sad. You were loved. You are still loved, all these years later. We only had those days in the summer of 1975. We were young. I wish your life had been better. I will always honor your memory. I’ll never forget you. Love always, Anthony
