Not sure what to say?

I did not personally know Mrs. Benoit, but seeing this page, I am struck by her resemblance to her daughter in so many ways. I am very grateful for the legacy she has left in my dear friend Claire. Please accept my belated but continued sympathy for the loss of her physical presence. I hope that you will be reunited some day in the far future.

We were sad to hear about Barb's passing. I worked with Barb at the Retreat for many years. She had such a comforting approach with the patients. She also taught my children the love of the piano. We liked how she arranged recitals and that encouraged the children to practice. My thoughts go out to your family during this difficult time. From the Cameron Family

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Barb taught our three boys to play the piano, the very beginnings of what we know will be their lifelong love of music. She was calm and supportive and clear. We always enjoyed her visits to the house and the wonderful recitals she organized at Holton Home. Reading her obituary, it was interesting to see that this was just one of her many talents. Our condolences to her family. The Glennons: Sara, Bob, Clark, Graham, and Rhys.

I am so sorry Dave to hear of Barbara's passing. Always enjoyed our conversations when I bumped into her around town. My sincere sympathy to you and your family.

I went to NEC with Barbara, she will be missed. <3

Deepest sympathy from an old friend. I sincerely wish we'd lived closer. What a good soul Barbara has. I was looking forward to seeing her again when I go east. I'll send pics if I find any. Love~ Claire Frances Dustin Bruxvoort
