We're sorry for your loss. Barbara was a devoted Hartford Hospital volunteer who we counted on seeing at the information desk in the busy main lobby every Monday afternoon. When she wasn't assisting callers or visitors, Barbara was cleaning and restocking the drawers and cabinets at the desk. We're grateful for all Barbara did and feel fortunate to have known her.
