My dearest Barbara, our Boudica... The ways in which you will be missed are overwhelming. Your laughter (sometimes snorting, sometimes a quick 'ha!', sometimes from the belly accompanied by tears) and wit, your interest in and love for art, music, literature, gardening, history, stitchery and design, animals, crafts, giraffes, all things Celtic, silly Minions and so much more was inspiring and you shared it with all of us. Your fierce and protective loyalty to those you loved and your contempt for fools was constant. Your love for Sam was monumental. Late nights in your lovely home, games, puzzles, movie marathons, deep talks about spirituality and religion, yard sales, camping trips, Renaissance fairs and so much more. You gave those to us. Thank you. I will miss you, my sister, more than I can express. Love, Gabrielle
