Barbara J. Engel

Missing my best friend!

I am so sorry to hear that Barb passed away. I worked with her (providing medical devices) when she was an OT in Saugerties & Kingston. She was always so kind and professional. She truly cared for her patients. I enjoyed working with her and she will be greatly missed! Please accept my condolences.

We are so sorry to hear about Barbara's passing. We will always remember her as having a beautiful spirit and a loving and generous heart. When she talked with you, you felt as though you had her total, mindful attention. She was really present to you. What a gift she was to all who met her! Our hope for all who grieve her loss, is that you will continue to feel her "real presence" whenever you need her. Lots of love, especially to Doug and Tony. Warmly,

Doug, Tony and family - in all honesty, I'm still in shock over the news of Barb's passing. She was so full of love and life - I think she fooled us into thinking it would last forever. Barb was my OT, and then friend - once we connected on having attended Cobleskill at the same time. She was always so open and willing to share of herself, and make things better for others. We, those she touched, have been blessed. May you find peace and comfort in the coming days, knowing that her spirit...

I as so very saddened to hear of Barb's passing. I was privledged to work with her at Health Alliance for many years. Her expertise, compassion, and care was most appreciated. I will especially never forget the wonderful care she provided to my father when he had his stroke. I am so very sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful woman and so loved. May God bless her family and help you through this difficult time.

Everyone who met Barb loved her. During my freshman orientation I felt so small and unsure of what was to come...then Barb showed up with four of her friends laughing down the hallway and introduced me as her little brother. All was well at that moment and in the future when Barb arrived. Thanks for being with us Barb and knowing how to help and guide us.

Barb, we will forever recall your contagious laughter, your positive outlook on everything and everyone you encountered, your voice of reason, and most of all, your smile. Love, cousin Juli, husband Jim, and second cousins Melissa and Elizabeth

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
