Mr. Bongiovanni and family, I was so sorry to hear about the loss of a special woman in your lives. A loving wife and mother. She certainly brought up fine young men who made her proud. The pond always has wonderful memories for me and always will. It was such a beautiful part of our childhood and it was awesome to share it with such a loving and caring family like yours. I came to the memorial but did not get to see you and when I saw all the loving people attending I realized she was certaily loved by many. It was a pleasure to have known her. I wish all of you well. Mr. BONGIOVANNI, ROB, JOHN , DAVE AND FAMILY

My heart goes out to all of you. I feel so grateful I saw her at MGH briefly, she gave me such a big hug we almost fell over. What a wonderful loving woman. Great memories of all of you from Long Pond. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Peggy Norton Kimball

Mr. Bongiovanni and family, I just heard the news and I am very sorry for your loss of such an earthly angle. Heaven is a better place with your wife and mother there. I will always cherish the times I spent with her at your place at the pond. Riding Woodchuck and eating PB&J sandwiches for lunch. She was like a Mom to me as a young man with always a cheerful smile and a kind word. Our thoughts and prayers are with you always.
Austin and family

Although I did not know Barbara personally, knowing her son David as I have for many years, I am certain she was a wonderful, caring, person, and will be missed by all that knew and loved her. It is now the duty of her family to carry on the traditions, and Love as she would. May God bless you all, and Barbara rest in peace. Deepest Sympathy.
