Not sure what to say?

Although I only worked for The Trustees as summer help, I was lucky enough to go to the Crane Estate outing. I was very impressed by Barbara. Her generosity, professionalism, her happy outlook on life. My sympathy goes out to her family.

Deepest Sympathy to the family, friends and co-workers past and present. I have good memories of a cute little blond girl bounding into Girl Scouts sharing her smiles and enthusiasm. So proud of your successes Barbie. Sounds like you have left an amazing mark of your Love. Rest in Peace. Karla Oksanen ( Old Girl Scout Leader)

Fee from pain and forever an Angel watching over her family. What a wonderful role model for all!

Immeasurably sorry to hear of her passing. I will feel her spirit when I visit a Trustees property. In fact, heading to Bartholomew’s Cobble today and will remember her stewardship of these priceless properties. Condolences to her family and all who knew, worked with, and, most importantly, loved her.

I am really sorry to hear about her passing though I never knew her. We use the Trustees often and she was always the face of the organization. Please accept my condolences. My heart goes out to her husband and children.

an example of an extraordinary person. I sit in awe and admiration of the rare mix of native talent, intelligence, and spirit that culminated in a life that created a brilliant path. I never knew her. I miss her on this Earth.

I do not know Barbara nor did she know me, except as a member of the Trustees of Reservations. I am so grateful for her work for the Trustees, especially for Crane and Decordova being added, as these places nourish my soul.
May the rain and stars comfort and protect her children.
