To Beth..Keith and all of Barbs family please accept our sincere condolences. We both looked forward to our visits by phone and in person. I have been unable to contact her by phone as her phone had been disconnected and unable to visit because of covid 19. I just did research on McCoubreys and saw her picture. I feel badly we had lost touch before her passing and will miss her dearly. She always spoke so highly of her girls..and her family. She never complained. What a strong lady..and such a dear. I was blessed to know her!!
