Reflection: During my sister Barb finial days she enjoyed playing Bingo with her siblings and closest friends. She also enjoyed my jello  to our surprise jello was the last thing she requested before she transition. She licked her lips closed her eyes with such satisfaction. Love you sis with everything Primrose (Kate)

During the early years of my sister's life when she was newly married to Roger Henderson II, Barb and Roger had to work I stayed over to help babysit Dawn their oldest child. I tried to help out by preparing dinner for them so when they returned home everything would have been done. To my surprise the chicken I had fried wasn't completely done it had blood inside. Barbra and Roger just laughed they was very encouraging and thankful for my efforts. Barbra showed me the proper way to cook chicken. (Betty)
