I just heard "Build me up, Buttercup" on the radio and I thought of you because it was one of your favorite songs. I miss you more with every day that passes- I miss our talks-have had my hand on the phone to call or text you, then I remember. I miss our silliness,your smile and laughter, and oh those beautiful, piercing eyes. I miss it all. You "zing" me when I least expect it and then I need to take a deep breath as one of our memories flood me. It's all so bittersweet, buttercup.

Barb, I never heard anything but good about you, and I know you were a sweet person. I didn't see you but a few times, and you were always so nice. I am glad that Scott introduced you into my life. I will never forget when my son needed a place to stay, and you and Brian had him come to stay with you. I will think of you.

You (and Brian) were very special friends to me for so many years. I will miss you, Barb.

Barb...I know the Rock you have always been to my girls Kaitie and Sami and how much you meant to them, but I also know how much your part of their life meant to me and how much love and respect I have ALWAYS had for you. I spent a good part of my days as a young father in the presence of you and Brian and always looked to both of you for guidance on so many things during those years. You were one of the first people I called when samantha was born and she was brought to her first home...

Everyday is a new adventure. you taught me that. That everyday needs to be treated like it's special because you never know when something amazing is going to happen to you. You taught me how to be silly and burp and giggle. You were there for everything i ever needed you there for. And for that i am forever greatful. I will always remember your smiling face when we came to visit you. Or when we were dancing in the rain. I know you're always there and i know that you love us. Well we love you...

For more than 27 years, we've experienced a friendship like no other....we laughed together during the happy times and cried with each other during the sad ones.... and everything in between-we even lived together for 5 years. What an absolutely profound and positive effect you had and continue to have on my life with your grace, dignity, and your sense of humor. How truly honored and blessed I feel to have been your friend! I am grateful we were able to see, touch, and say goodbye to each...

We think of you everyday & miss you so much. The memories flood us & we smile at all the laughter & love you brought to all of us. We know you are at peace now & watching over each & everyone of those you loved. You will forever be in our thoughts & our hearts. You were/are the best sister & friend & are truly missed & loved. You graced our lives with beauty & laughter & the world is a better place because of it. We love you, Barb. Sharon, Sami, Kaitie, Melissa & Allison.
