I was a parishioner of St. Alphonsus Parish and worshiped with Mr. and Mrs. Brennan and their children. I also had the pleasure of working for Barbara's son-in-law Ken back in the 1980s at Lemle Kelleher. I remember well when we tragically lost Leslie and Brennan Michael. My deepest sympathy to Barbara's family. Barbara: simply one of the best and I was honored and blessed to have her in my life.

Absolutely beautiful in every way. Showed us such kindness in a time of need. The Brennan family is exceptional in many ways and we can't imagine how wonderful your reunion in heaven will be. Our prayers are with you all. We've learned that at Mass when heaven & earth are joined, we can almost touch the hands of those we love and who are waiting for us. God bless you.

To all of my extended Brennan family members: My heart is heavy and my sympathy to each one of you. You are all hurting in your unique way on so many levels. I can barely remember a time without Aunt Barbara being in my life, and how one word from her sweet lips instantly warmed and welcomed me. I will miss her but I find such comfort in knowing she has joined my dear Dad in heaven and that she can hold and kiss my baby girl Jessica again for me.

Mere words cannot begin to express our collective sadness upon learning of Aunt Barbara's passing. She was invariably loving, kind, and gracious to us throughout the decades of knowing her.

How do you properly express in gratitude the gaping wound left by the passing of such a precious soul? As God's faithful servant first, she reflected His love through all she encountered. It was her fervent compassion and hospitality that formed the melding of two families in friendship and love. It was her exquisite thorough example of selfless love that caused all of you to willingly share her as mother; grandmother; godmother; and friend. Our lives have been " touched by God" through the grace of her magnificent presence. May God grant BB her repose, rejoicing with Leslie and Brennan eternally in His presence. All our love always, Mike and Maryellen

Pip, Owen, Shannon, Clark, Blake and the entire Brennan Family, Barbara brought such light and joy to all those she met. Her deep faith shone though her every action. We consider it one of the great blessings of our lives to have known her--and all of you. May God grant you consolation in your loss and comfort in knowing that Barbara's love goes on in so many beautiful ways. Years ago an actor friend from out of town, after meeting Barbara for the first time told me, "She is like the spirit of New Orleans--warm and filled with faith." I think he was right.
Blessings to you all,

I met Miss Barbara through the Krewe of Bacchus. It was always such a pleasure and joy to speak with her. Her kindness, beauty and faith was apparent to all that knew her. What I admired most about Miss Barbara was her love of family. Also, she had a very special way of making her friends feel like family too. Miss Barbara, you are sadly missed. My condolences to your dear family.
