Carol KienenbergerBarb was my sister and she ayawls spoke so well of those she worked with and her friends from bowling. She was planning to be here in Montana with us now and I really miss her. She ayawls enjoyed helping us with the cattle when she came and stayed. We laughed alot when we were together and shared memories of the past. My sympathy is extended to each of you who were her friends. Thank you for being in her life since she and Ron didn't have other family around them. I know you will miss her as well. Carol and Family
