[sumo] The Passing of Barbara Ann Klein

[Katrina Watts]

Barbara and I were such good friends for so many years, and I miss her greatly.  We had lots of sumo adventures in Japan and abroad that I have a hoard of happy memories to call upon.
Barbara touched so many lives bringing friendship and joy, and a love of sumo that will remain in many hearts.
Love ya Honey!

She was a frequent contributor to this listserve for well over 20 years, going back to the mid 1990’s.  I loved her as a dear friend over the decades, and she also me. I don’t know what else to say as I am truly mourning Her passing. If you have a special memory of Barbara Ann, treasure it in your heart or share it here with us, her long time listserver friends and acquaintances.
