Karyn- I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom and the "Pink House" are forever a symbol of North Beach. As others have said she always had a smile and a wave as you passed by. What a beautiful photograph here and tribute that you have written. Sending you strength in the coming days.

Dear Karen: We apologize for the delay in expressing our condolences in the passing of your loving mother Barbara. We know the last few years had been hard on Barb physically and trust that her soul is in peace now. Jack was very sad to hear about Barb's passing - unfortunately, Jack is now dealing with dementia issues of his own, which is why he lost touch with staying in contact with Barb by phone. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your entire family during this difficult time. Sincerely: Jack, Anita, Brad, Lee and Nina.
