MCRAE, Barbara Helene

I only found out about you being gone today, nearly 8 years past. Oh, Barb, how I cried, for now I know I have finally found out what happened to you after years of trying to find you. I tried to find family but they’d moved away and I couldn’t find phone #s. I was going through my own terrible years of hell and couldn’t get away from my abusers, so I ended up losing touch with you, but I never forgot about our friendship. The 8 years of crazy wonderful beautiful friendship we shared, along with Jade… you always told me that she had me wrapped around her paw LOL. Remember spending hours watching our crime shows curled up, you on the couch and me in the chair? You trying to teach me to knit and crochet but me somehow messing up my row ends?!? Me making us tea and coffee. Jade giving her pert little ‘mra!!’ when she wanted her wet food, watching me over the arm of the chair literally staring me down til I gave in…I still laugh at that!! You and I going for walks at night, remember the times we had to find places to charge up your chair because we went too far and you ran out of power!! Thank God for Access Taxi and the people in the campground. And my very first memory of meeting you, way before all that, you and Miss Dale bringing me tea when I was in the hospital – then I moved into your apartment building in January ’05 and we became friends. Over the years I got to know your family, and they were pretty cool too. Barb, I will always love you like a sister and the best of friends we were. I wish I hadn’t lost contact with you and I could’ve been there for you and to say goodbye. Please know I treasure you forever in my heart and soul, I am so thankful for having you a part of my life, and you will always be alive in my dreams. To this day I still use your saying to people I love: “You’re a nut!”💕

Our condolences to all the family
