Gosh I was so sorry and shocked to see this. I met Barbara several years ago when she got a wee Scottie that I was fostering for SPCA.
Such a lovely lady. My husband Gary and I were chatting to her not that long ago at Foxton Beach at our gate. She was out walking her beautiful staffy who we were admiring .
We are both so very very sorry for your loss.
Such a special lady.
