Dear Roger:

You have been in my thoughts and prayers, and I think of Barbara whenever Dominick crawls in my lap and how much she loved him.

May God bless you and comfort you and bring you peace.

"BAG" was a great "gal" and a forever friend.She was that SPECIAL friend: that sometimes in life one finds that changes your life for being part of it.
She holds a very special place in my heart and will be greatly missed but never forgotten.Our friendship spans some 30 years and am left with some wonderful memories to help through this difficult time.

I am greatful for the few hours we were able to spend together during the last few months and will cherise the time...

Thanks for being a part of our family. You were a dear friend to Mom- say Hi

Roger,

Barbara was a great "dame" in the best sense of that word - bold, brassy, completely irrepressible. That's why my mom and dad Carolyne and Jimmie Crawford loved her so much, and why the whole Crawford/Semmens clan is in mourning today. I have a great many wonderful memories of Barbara - and they bring a smile to my face. I know Barbara has joined Mom and Jimmie and the three of them are having a blast. Our family wants to participate in the celebration of Barbara's life -...

Dear Roger,
I just read Barbara's notice and I am so shocked. I have so many great memories of our early days with Cousins, Merrill, etc. I hope I will be informed when you have her service. My, she was a great gal!! Please know that I am keeping you in my best thoughts.

I had the privilege of working with Barbara for several years at Arvida (which later became Coldwell Banker). She was a true lady with a heart of gold. The Real Estate community has lost a great professional and the Miami Lakes community has lost a great humanitarian. Her work with Zonta will be remembered always. Rest in peace!

You have our sympathy. We will miss her at Christmas when we visit Miami.She was so much fun to be around.

SOME PEOPLE COME INTO OUR LIVES AND QUICKLY GO. SOME STAY FOR AWHILE AND LEAVE FOOTPRINTS ON OUR HEARTS. AND WE ARE NEVER EVER THE SAME

WE MOURN WE GRIEVE WE CELEBRATE HER LIFE. WE HAVE LOST A TRUE FRIEND
