Dear Family and Friends of Barbara:

I have known Barbara for a short time through my experiences with yoga (WSSRA). It didn't take me long to appreciate the ongoing light that radiated from her each time we met. I am confident that she is among the saints and totally free and spirited as she was during her earthly visit. I am honored to have known her.

Beautiful, kind and caring person, Barbara will be missed.

May we all let the light of Barb's life
fill the sorrow of her loss. Remember
her as the smiling, elegant and kind
Barb that we all loved. And the courage
she showed in her struggle against the
cruel affliction of breast cancer. My
condolences to her family and many loyal friends.

I had the joy of knowing for 5 brief years through her work at West Suburban Special Recreation Assn. Barbara taught us to value ourselves, whether healthy or not, to care for our world and each other and of course to "find the sacred in the ordinary". These lessons are priceless. The world is a better place because Barbara was in it. Her spirit remains with all who knew her. We will miss her. Maryellen Bilek
