    So sorry to hear that Aunt Barb passed away….I have such great memories of her and her wonderful Brittain family stories. I have kept many of them and so glad I did. She certainly was a great writer as well as a special Aunt. Although I did not get to see her as often as I should have, I enjoyed visits in her various homes. She was so very interesting. My family connected with her and were saddened to hear of her passing.
    May God bless you all at this trying time.

Not only was she a great neighbour to our family, she provided me with a place to live for awhile after my dad (Murdoch) died; and she was instrumental in getting my mom (Olive) and step-dad (Colin Hunt) together in a match that lasted many years. I have very happy memories of spending time with the Tutty family. Hugs and condolences to you all.
