Our Dear Barbara, You are missed so much. I haven't been able to go to a Red Sox game but have finally gotten a tix for Sundays game. You will be in my thoughts all day. You always lit up a room when you walked in. My husband and I had so many fun times with you. Everytime we drive into Boston around the corner of the bridge we laugh at how you used to sneak in the lane under the tunnel. I know you are having a blast with Mom and Dad in Paradise. Until we all meet up again you will forever be in our thoughts.

My sweet lovely Friend...I miss you so much. Your lovely smile everytime you came in my store and how you made us all laugh all through our classes. People still ask for you. I can't even watch the Red Sox with out crying. I just know you are playing baseball up there with Mike and now Sissy (my mom). Until we meet on the other side I will always have a special place in my heart for you.

Dear Kim,
I just recently heard of your mother's passing and wish to express my sincere condolences. I was wondering why I hadn't heard from her as she would contact me spring & fall like clockwork to schedule her window cleaning. She was a truly amazing bundle of energy and I always looked forward to seeing her. I swear half of my day was spent just talking with her and if it wasn't the Red Sox, she would be talking about you her grandkids, all of whom she was so obviously proud of and loved very much. The world was so much better off having someone like her and I can only think that heaven will be also.

Dear Stanley, We were so surprised and saddened to learn of Barbara's passing. She was a very special person who was a constant friend. We enjoyed keeping in touch after we moved to Georgia. She was always a thoughtful person with a bright spirit. We will sincerely miss her friendship and calls with her cheery voice. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, her daughter Kim and family and all who loved Barbara as we did. We will miss you Barbara!

Never expected to hear such sad news. Seeing you almost every day for I don't know how many years, delivering your mail, doesn't seem real that you're not there. You made me feel like one of the family. Will always remember Sox games & your smiling face. Rest in peace Barbara.
