Bobby and I are parents of Travis Clarkson who lives next door to Maury and Barbara at 4100 Columbia. We talked to Barbara on many occasions over the fence. We both love dogs as we have two, Fonzie (Trav's dog) and Maxie. She was a nice lady. If there is anything we can do, please let us know.
Sincerely, Linda Clarkson.

The world of Animal Rescue is a much darker place now that the Light that Barb gave off is gone. We are truly sorry for the loss of this wonderful special Lady. We will miss her terribly.
Many condolences to Maury and her boys. If there is ever anything we can do...please let us know.
