From Bill Trowbridge:       July 5, 2009

Barb,

I'm sad to say that our classmate, Carole Jones, passed away today at her home in Tacoma, WA. She had been very ill for several months. She is survived by her daughters, Christy and Karen. As you may recall, Carole was Barry MacAnally's wife and is my youngest son's mother-in-law. Please note her passing on the reunion web site.
 

Oh, Bill -- I am so, so sorry- that is just the Worst news ever. I was just getting ready to send her an email about coming to the reunion. Since I hadn't heard back from her. Everyone has been reading your account of the marriage of your 'kids' - and thought it was soooo cool, and we were all hoping to embrace her and tell her in person - and express our sense of loss over Barry as well.

How many lessons do we (I) have to learn to not wait to do or say something nice At The Present Moment; there is Nothing to be gained by waiting.

Thank you, Bill, for letting me know. Yes, of course I will put this - sadly - on the In Memory page.

Please know all in the MacAnally and Trowbridge familiy are in my thoughts and prayers. Fondly, Barbie
