Barbara was the most original, compassionate, fun-loving, and wonderful person I have ever known! You always knew where you stood with Barbara, and if she was your friend, she was your friend no matter what. She had the biggest heart of anyone and was always willing to help when needed. I know I will miss her- there aren't many people like Barbara. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am sorry for your loss. I knew Barbara too many years ago to count, and Tommy and Julie as a very young child. Barbara was a very warm and friendly lady, beautiful and had a smile for everyone. Barbara's personality was like a beautiful flower. May you all embrace each other in love.
