Thanks Art for letting us know about Barb Mallut's death. She was a dedicated contributor to this list and Parkinson's advocate for many years. Her caring manner and her humor shone through her postinigs and she helped many newly diagnosed PWP get through difficult times, myself included. Rest in peace Barb, Linda Herman -- Arthur Hirsch <[log in to unmask]> wrote: For those of you new to the list, this may have no meaning. But the oldtimers among us will remember Barb and her contributions. I haven't seen note of her passing on this list, so I'll repeat this article from PRO. Barbara Sue Kaplan- Mallut - Nov 20, 1942- August 12, 2007 Barbara's long journey with Parkinson's came to an end on August 12th, 2007. Many people in the PRO world came to know and love her as a supportive, thoughtful, caring ear and voice for those suffering with Parkinson's. Her postings on the Internet can be followed as far back as 1995 and back to the BBS days before the takeoff of the Internet. Her regularly scheduled dinners and volunteer work at the Encino Hospital, in support of this disease, gave hope and a sense of normalcy for those living with Parkinson's. Through her involvement, she could see her future and met it with dignity and humor. Supporting people with Parkinson's was a big part of life from her mid 40's, but before that she was known for being the creative and talented mother to daughters, Sandra and Jamie, and loving sister to Margie. She was an amazing artist, landscape designer, avid book reader, and cat lover. Our prayers go out to her and that she is finally at peace. Her four-year-old grandson, Ryan, hopes she enjoys heaven and gets to see G-D. A memorial will be planned in the near future.
