Barbara Jonas

I just learned the sad news of Barbara´s passing and want to extend my heartfelt condolences to the entire Jonas family. Some of my happiest childhood memories are of the Jonas household, which I always considered my "second home." In addition to my own incredible mother, Barbara was my earliest "role model" in life - a calm and patient voice in the midst of 5 noisy kids and their many friends! Barbara and the family have remained in my thoughts and heart throughout the many decades since...

To the family of Barbara Jonas. I often recall the investment this awesome high school counselor made in my life as a student at Miami Beach High class of '78. Mrs. Jonas, as I remember her in my mind, took the time to see that this little brown-skinned girl who was being bused to Miami Beach from Liberty City may not know what her options were for life after high school.

My condolences to the family. I remember her well she was caring and kind. She was my counselor at Miami Beach High. People thought we were related.

I remember your Mom so well. While at MBSH, I was her "aide" and got to watch her in action. She was a true professional and very kind, gentle and caring. She is one of the reasons I became a counselor. My condolences to the entire family.

Dear Val, Fred, Shelly and David, I remember your mom fondly from many afternoons at your home during our high school years. My condolences to you all. Fondly, Ines

My condolences to the family. Mrs. Jonás was my guidance counselor at Miami Beach Senior High. She always believed in her students and pushed them to succeed. She was one of a kind. You will be missed! I wish I knew you were still so close by.

My condolences go out to the Jonas family, particularly to Dr. Stanley Jonas, Dollie, Andy, Ivan and Betsy. I grew up with them on Treasure Island. I understand that Royal Flagg Jonas had much to do with the development of North Bay Village. What a wonderful heritage the Jonas family have.

I spent many hours in your home as a kid. Your Mom was a gentle soul who touched the lives of many MBHS students. Fred, sorry for your loss. Sending a masked hug.

So very sorry for your loss, but wonderful memories of your Mom will keep a smile on your faces.
