This book is devoted to my lovely wife Barbara, always known as Babs, who died on the 16th February 2013. She was very artistic and had a lovely sense of humour that never left her even in the latter years when MS confined her to a wheelchair. This book is not only to provide those who knew her with happy memories of Babs, but it is also intended to help financially the MS Society in the hope that one day soon they might find a cure for this dreadful disease.
