  1. I always enjoyed the special relationship Aunt Barbara and I had, especially receiving phone calls out of the blue from her and even messages on the answer machine in her later years. After her typical upbeat conversations, she would always end by singing one of her favorite Irish songs. Aunt Barbara was a very special person who was loved by everyone who knew her. She will be greatly missed. Our deepest sympathy to the whole family. Love, Jonny and Lucy
