Very sad news for our members of TOTV
 
I have just found out that our wonderful TOTV member, Barb1191, aka Barbara McLalan Church passed away last year. The ovarian cancer that she was fighting a brave battle against, finally took its toll.

For those of you who knew her, she was a wonderful, smart, fun-loving lady who I enjoyed having as a good friend. Her husband Bill (Wm Gamble) also passed away 3 months later.

I was wondering why I hadn't heard from either of them for awhile and I reached out to their family members on facebook and had this confirmed today.

This news has really hurt me as there wasn't a sweeter couple anywhere.

We will miss you guys. RIP.

Sorry to hear that.

One of my favorite Doggie Doo Run Run people, Bob Buckland, passed on Friday, October 3, 2014. It has been a sad weekend at DDRR.

Hope these people are making others happy now.

This is a photo of one of the earliest TOTV meet and greets held at Starbucks where Barb & Bill were there. I believe this was in '08.

I didn't know any of these people, but I'd like to send my condolences to all of the TOTV members that were friends of theirs.

I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of Barb and Bill. They were such nice people. May they rest in peace together.

I recognize a lot of those people in the picture. I had gone to some of these 07 and 08 meetings but at Crispers and Donna lived up the street from me. Barefoot and Fireboy are Doggie Doo Run Run regulars when here in the Winter months.

I started going to Doggie Doo Run Run with Sport in January of 2007 and joined TOTV in July of 2007.

This is probably a stupid question but what does TOTV stand for? I assume it's a group.
Thanks

Nanna, no question is stupid. We were all there at one time.

Talk of the Villages = TOTV

Its the abbreviation for the forum.

I am so sad for all of these losses, Kathie and Tal. Could someone I.d. The people in the pic, left to right; front to back? I recognize Bare and maybe Charlene/phanaticlvr.

Tal, what kind of dog did Bob Buckland have? I may be able to put dogs and owners together In my mind

niftynanna 10-05-2014 10:47 AM
Duh! thanks new here!

Oh, no. I am so sorry to hear this. Barb had such a wonderful attitude about the whole thing. I thought she would be with us much longer. RIP, Barb.:pray:

Bob Buckland had two smaller dogs--Molly and Maggie. Miniature schnauzers, I believe. http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/miniatureschnauzer.htm

He was often in the Villages Daily Sun for his art work and was a very active Course in Miracles coach.

His Obit is on the other web-site that covers the Villages which is not supposed to be linked. He passed on October 3, 2014 here in the Villages.
