Dear Hinkemeyer Family, My sympathies to you in the passing of Barb. I will miss her sweet disposition, and friendly smile, and the tip" here's the banana bread without nuts, honey". She always made my day when she was serving up samples of baked goods at Teal's, and she always made sure I would "eat". Thank you for sharing her with so many in the community. Peace to you all.
