Paul,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family on your loss. I'll miss seeing you and Barb at the Hilton AppleFest but I'm fortunate to have one of her prints which I will treasure. She's now painting scenes that you and I can only imagine. Again, you're in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Jeff Frisk

Matt and family,
My heartfelt condolences go out to you. Matt, I am thinking back to our Cardinal Mooney days and the time I had spent with you and your family. I remember your parents ‘adopting me’ for one of your vacations down to Myrtle Beach and all the time we spent together at your house and around the neighborhood. Your mom was such a special person, truly a great woman. I remember her being so accepting and supportive. My thoughts are with you.

To Barbara's Family:
How sorry I am to hear about her illness and passing. I will always treasure the fabulous painting that is on my living room wall and will think of her often. Her wonderful smile and friendly personality was always a delight.

My Dear Paul, Cindy And Matthew,
Words can not express our sorrow and our deep sympathy for your
loss. We will cherish our memories of the time you visited us in the Southwest. And also all the fun times we had in Rochester.
We want you to know that you are in our prayers and that, hopefully, peace will reign in your hearts. God Bless you.

Paul-
Our heartfelt sympathies go out to you for this terrible time of loss. Although Don and I did not know you both for very long, we certainly enjoyed both of your wonderful sense of humor and company on the art show circuit.
The loss of Barb's presence in the art community will be strongly felt. She was a loving and generous spirit who will be missed greatly! Our prayers are with you and your family.
