dear family,
I am Barbara's godson. She attended Carney with my mother, known as Betty Daley back in the day. Barbara was always a part of my life, is now, and hope to be so when I get to see her again. I have requested my brother Father Jeremy to offer a mass for the repose of her dear soul.

Dear Joe and Family:
I had the pleasure of working with Barbara as a trustee of our condo association and she will be surely missed. Barbara never had a negative word or comment on anyone and I believe that is a true test of someone character and loving heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Joe and Family:
Please accept my sympathy on the loss of your wonderful sister. What a kind, smart, inspiring woman. I am lucky to have been Barbara's neighbor since 2003, and will so miss her.

Thinking of you,

Barbara Mackin
