Just today (8/27/21)I heard the very sad news of Barbara's death in December from Ella in the Silver Sneakers class at the McDowell Wellness Center. Barbara was my favorite person there! She and I used to break into spontaneous dances in the midst of the group exercise and just laugh and cut up between songs. I have been looking for Barbara to come back, and was so disappointed not to see her. Now I will stop looking, but I will not stop missing such a lively, sweet, and funny new friend, nor will other members of the Silver Sneakers. Barbara was special. Warmest condolences to the Ball family. Kathy Barbour
