My condolences to the Sobchak family. Barb and I went to school together and were friends for many years.
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Barb. I was a friend of Betty and Shelley’s growing up in school and Barb was always lots of fun and friendly to her younger sister’s friends!! I was always very envious of Barb’s beautiful blonde hair (and Belle’s too!). It was always alot of fun and full of excitement at the Sobchak home on Dominion Street and I fondly remember many good times and Barb making us Campbell Chicken Rice with Stars soup! My sincere condolences to the entire family.
Betty and Shelley, I’d love to hear from you, so if you read this please email me at johneileenfisher@gmail.com

I Said a Prayer for you Today
And I know God must have heard,
I felt the answer in my heart
Although He spoken no Word.
I didn’t ask for wealth or fame,
I asked Him to send treasures
Of a far more lasting kind.
I asked that He’d be near you
Today and at the start of each new day
To grant you health and blessings
And friends to share your way.
But it was for His loving care
I prayed the most of all.
