Barb was our flower girl when my husband, Joe, and I got married nearly 49 years ago. I have not seen her much in recent years , but will always treasure the memories of the sweet heart who helped make our day beautiful. I am sure Joe was there to greet her as she entered the pearly gates. Prayers for her family, especially Aunt Rita. Love, Audry Scigliano
