I met Mrs. Worrell over 40 years ago when I was a Junior King's Daughter. She was so devoted to that organization! I ran into her many years later when I had my own children, and guess what she was doing, trying to recruit for another Jr. KD circle! My condolences to her family.

John and Connie: So sorry to hear of your loss - Barb was a wonderful, fun lady. We always enjoined our visits with your folks. Both of them lived good, long lives - and we were all blessed by knowing them and getting to be in their presence. We are thinking of you. Know it is difficult at this time of year - interestingly, my (Betty) mother died on the same day 4 years ago.

To my extended Illinois family -
I regret your loss and remember so fondly the memory of my aunt, after whom I am named. I share lovely quilting story memories that she shared, as we both loved textile arts. I will be remembering her on her special family day, this June 8th.
