  I have fond memories over the years of times with Barbara and her husband Roy, though it was years between times, at family reunions or various family intersections.  One time, in 1981, my wife Edith and I, with our one and three-year-old, stayed with them in Peoria for a week during our time in the States from Kenya.

  -------------
  I just got the word of Barbara's death, in a letter from my mother, Lou Gregory Jenkins.  I have fond memories over the years of times with Barbara and Roy, though it was years between times, at family reunions or various family intersections.  One time, in 1981, Edith and I, with our one and three-year-old, stayed with them in Peoria for a week during our time in the States from Kenya.  I epxress our love and sorrow to my cousins and other family members in the loss of Barbara.

  The obituary did not have Barbara's birth date.  After some time the Social Security death Index records came online, providing her birth date, which I did not have from family sources.
