I met Barbara and Suzanne in the summer of 2004, when I was in town (from Utah) visiting family. I didn't grow up knowing who she was, but reached out to meet her, knowing she was my grandpa's cousin. She and Suzanne were so excited to meet me, my friend and my toddler and served us lunch. Every single year since then (up until her passing) she kept in touch, by mail, sending gifts, and occasional emails. She made us feel so loved. Several years in a row she had a White House commemorative christmas ornament sent to us. I think we have three or four. I wasn't able to go to her memorial back in 2022-2023, but haven't forgotten about her.
