Barb and I worked together for a number of years in the process engineering dept at SI's Rotterdam Jct plant. She was a friend and helper. She said I would forget her after I was promoted. But I never did.

I worked with Barb at Rotterdam Junction until her retirement and she was a good friend. She will be sadly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

I worked with Barb at the Congress St. location and it was my pleasure to have had the opportunity to get to know her. She had that special touch to get people in a good mood even when they were experiencing tough times. I know this to be true because she did that for me. My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.
