I know I will always be revisiting memories & conversations that I had with my big sister. We giggled all the time & I had such fun making my truly innocent sister blush. All my friends commented on how sweet & gorgeous she was & admired how kind she was to everyone. She loved her family with all heart & deeply missed her son Tom who lived out of state. How I shall miss that sweet lady.

I have always said that being able to have you so close growing up was like having two mothers and it really was. You were such a role model, inspiration and friend.
You did so much for us and it meant the world to me. Kana mentioned the car rides to school, you made us listen to 102.9 fm. One of my favorite memories is twice a year the whole family would be outside, planting in the spring and "winterizing" in the fall.
Dad and Mom, thank you for having her so close...

Barbara was the perfect mix between sweet-spirited and classy. She was thoughtful and always kind. Being around her made you a better person. She was a wonderful companion to my father, Gary for many years. It was a privilege to have known such a warm and caring individual.
My sincere condolences,
