Had Jimmy in class and coaching basketball at Cathedral. Mrs. Anderson was always very supportive of the team and the high school. Saw Jimmy last at Steve Sutera’s funeral. Say hi to my brother Pud in heaven, Mrs. Anderson. Respectfully-Coach Kupfer
I am so so sorry. I was out of town and just got back in town and saw she had passed. Barb was always one of my very favorite people. I enjoyed her so much and we shared so many memories of her family and although I never really met them all I feel like I knew them. I am so sorry I was not able to attend her funeral but know that I loved her very much and am so glad I was able to get up and see and talk to her.
