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.
Oh Kathie, thanks for letting us know that Barb and Bill have passed to the other side.
They were a sweet couple, married later in life, and very much in love.

The group picture really brought back bittersweet memories.
I think it was the second TOTV meeting ever when the membership was at around 2,000.
I miss Donna and Island Gal and Muncle, and now Barb and Bob have joined them.
And Talk Show Host (an original owner and his wife) have moved to Plant City.
Not many of the old gang in that picture still posting, except for Kathie, Redwitch and Barefoot.

Things sure do change, and a long life isn't promised to any of us.

Thank you very much for this respect. It seems fitting. We all became friends with Barb through TOTV.
