Barbara was a great "aunt" to our daughter Olivia. She was very generous with her time and celebrated every holiday, especially Christmas. I remember her fondly for that.

Dear friend. I remember you whenever I am cooking. You always had a shortcut or a great suggestion. We shared cookbooks and stories. We shared family and friends. I miss you.

Dear Barbara,
I love you and I will miss you. Penney, Hobbs, Calvin and I have welcomed Giorgio to our home with welcome arms. Thank you for letting us adopt Giorgio.
