My deepest heartfelt condolences to the entire Talman family. As my former Mother-In-Law, I will always remember Barbara as a force to be reckoned with, how much she loved her local sports and the games I got to join her on, how much she would help others with a place to stay or monetary, and of her support for the MDA.

I also remember some funny things, like how much she loved black jelly beans, how much we’d roll our eyes together whenever Bobby Ayala (formerly of the Seattle Mariners) was going to be playing in a game, and when we would go see movies together, such as Debbie Reynolds’ “Mother!”

Two wonderful things she introduced me to was the movie “White Christmas” and the Fred Waring & The Pennsylvanians’ “The Meaning of Christmas,” the latter of which would start skipping at the “JOLLY WASSAIL!!” Over and over and over - until someone bumped the record player to fix it! I also remember helping clean her house while “White Christmas” was on…and how we’d laugh together! I now have the album from iTunes (now looking for the vinyl) and the movie on DVD - and I think of her every single time I play them at Christmas!

BARBARA: I know I am “a little bit late” in telling you how grateful I have been to have known you, how much you meant to me and my life. Endless thank yous from me - forever grateful. I will always remember you. Thank you for being in my life and being a huge wonderful part of it! Will miss you always…
