To the Hunt Family. I am deeply saddened for your loss. It is sad to lose a loved one, and more sad to lose a loved one during the holiday season. Now is the time for the family to come together during this difficult time, and with God's blessing, eventually you may all find that peace and harmony once again. My sincere condolences to all of the Hunt Family. She will be missed.

My father moved from Nova Scotia to the old house on Washington St. When he was 16 years old. His mother, stepfather,brothers Charlie and Timmy and his little sister Barbara all lived there.
One of the stories that I heard more than once was about how badly Barbara wanted a pair of rollerskates that she spotted in Reading Square. She wasn't allowed to get them. A very determined Barbara stole my fathers cigerette money and went and bought them. She loved those new skates. In the end she was allowed to keep them and a mutual love between a big brother and little sister was born.
Barbara was my Godmother. When I was 10 yrs. old I moved to the old house on Washington St. It was a wonderful place to grow up. I was surrounded by relatives. Growing up there were lots of stories shared around the kitchen table. Barbara liked to visit. Washington St. was a great route for her. Redmonds, Cullinanes,Nevins and Colfords everywhere. I loved it when she'd drop in. She never ever ran out of things to talk about. She was always interesting and what a laugh. She'd get my Dad to tell stories about Down East and sometimes she' even get him to sing.
When I first moved to Washington Street I had a new Barbie. It was all the rage. She bought my Barbie a beautiful red velvet coat with a velvet hat and purse, long white gloves and highheels. I loved that outfit. I'd never owned anything so beautiful. I still have it.
Barbara has always been part of my life. Good times graduations, weddings, christenings, etc.. and the sad times. Especially when my Dad got sick. She even came to Boston and climbed only God and probably Tommy know how many stairs she climbed to get to his room to visit. When it finally hit me that my father wasn't going to make it she was the one I went to. I was a mess that showed up on her front doorstep she helped me through it.
I made alot of bad choices when I was young. I talked to her about it once. I was ashamed and she was awesome. She didn't judge me in any way or make me feel bad about myself. She loved me for who I was and even said she was proud of who I'd become.
She told me once about a nightmare that she kept having. She went visiting on Washington Street and didn't know any of the people in the houses. Only strangers inside. At the time I couldn imagine anything so absurd. Today only one of those houses still has family in it. Time marches on now mater how much we want it to stand still.
I have so many memories of my Aunt Barbara. I was so lucky to have her in my life. I loved her with my whole heart. She was my favorite person. The one I would always seek out at any family get together. She was funny, interesting and generous and I can't imagine this world being the same without her in it. She will be missed.
Love,
Loretta

I met Barbara at Marshalls 18 Years ago and liked her right away. She was funny and smart and became a very close friend. I'll miss our coffee at Panera, lunches at Spuds and her beautiful laugh and smile.
Now You'll forever be surrounded by the white light.
Love you Barb, Mary Mohla

My thoghts are with you Tommy and Family
