Dear Andy and all of you great children.
I am so sorry at Barbara's passing.
She was the best 2d Mom to me on
Haussauer. I know how much you all will miss her. She was the best.
I will hold her in my prayers and make a wish that Barbara and Ann are chatting over old times playing pinnochle.
God Bless Barbara and all of the Podlucky Family. Love to you all.

Fifteen years ago Barbara traveled all the way to my wedding in a little town in Illinois and for "Something Blue" she let me wear her signature blue topaz ring. That has always been a special memory for me. Our family will miss her very much.

Barbara and family,

I'm so sorry to hear of Big Barbara's passing. Please know I'm thinking about you all and let me know if there is anything I can do for you. I adored Big Barbara, she was a lady with grace and style, and possessed some mad cooking skills too!! She will be dearly missed.

Dear Andy and Family, I was so sorry to hear of the loss of Barb. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I can still remember growing up with all the other "Haussauer" kids and playing in the Podlucky backyard with Barb there watching.

God Bless

Dear Uncle Andy and to my cousins;

I am sorry at the loss of Aunt Barbara and wish you all well. I have told my Dad that she had died and he was visibly saddened. She was his favorite sister and of course he named my sister after her.

To the Podlucky family-
As a neighbor, and being friends with all the Podlucky boy's growing up, your mom was like a mom to me as well. She was a kind, sweet lady who always had a smile on her face.

Dearest Poduckys,
We will all miss Barbara, none so much as all of you. I will never forget how much fun it was to have her teach me how to make my first roasted chicken and egg foo young. She inspired me and I loved her dearly.

Dear Mr. Podlucky and Family,

My deepest condolences to you on Barbara’s passing. I can still see her in my mind, out in the yard brushing her beautiful long hair or sitting with all the other ladies in our living room when the Sewing Club met. She was a lovely woman and I know how difficult it is to lose her. My parents, if they were still alive, would also share in my sending you all our sympathy at this difficult time.
