A beautifully written tribute to to your sister....my condolences

Cindy, we are very sorry for your loss of your sister.The devotion to Barbara´s care truly marks a sister´s love. Be strong durIng these difficult day. Love ya Billy and Linda Hannon

So very sorry to hear of Barbara´s passing. She was a friend from our college days at Albertus and we renewed our friendship when she came back to New Haven to work at the Yale Library. My condolences to her sisters and brother Sam and his family who were our neighbors for many years. She was a wonderful person who left this world too soon.

I am shattered by the loss of Barbara but remind myself how lucky I was to have known her quiet strength and depth of wisdom, which I will treasure always. My heart breaks for Michele Sullivan, her family, and everyone who loved her.

I'm so saddened to hear about Barbara's passing. She was a wonderful mentor and friend at Stanford Libraries. Her curiosity, willingness to help, kindness to colleagues, and sharp wit stood out. She was also a dear friend outside of work, and my wife Darsi and I enjoyed many dinners at Barbara & Michele's home. She was a lovely and gracious host. Sending love and condolences to Michele and her family.

I remember the way she and Michelle would sometimes watch my young son when I had to work Saturdays at the reference in Green Library at Stanford. As a single parent, I really appreciated their generosity.

I have so many good memories of Barbara when we both worked at Stanford Libraries. She was a great colleague, and a wonderful friend! She and Michelle helped us pick the wine for our wedding 20 years ago; sitting in their kitchen sharing dinner and wine and laughter was so nice. My sincerest condolences to Michelle and all of the family. May you all be at peace for the wonderful life she shared with you.

Michelle, Cynthia, and all the family and friends who were loved and supported by Barbara and who loved her in return, I was fortunate to work with Barbara and be guided by her in Cubberley Library. Her support of me personally during a difficult lawsuit and family travails made life easier and work productive. All good, Barbara.

Barbara was my supervisor for several years and she was one of the most gentlest, kindness people I know. I agree with everything that was said in her obituary. I am so sorry for your loss. Billie Bousman
