Not sure what to say?

Oh Barbara, the years have not dulled my memories or the pain of losing you. Energy, I´ve read, never dies. I get some comfort knowing that your energy is out there still, radiating kindness and joy.

Missing you more each year. The love and Relationship we shared was incredible. I remember we went to opening night of the performance of hair at the Herberger. We had dinner in one of the five amazing restaurants nearby and sat in the front row. Barbara, we had so many amazing experiences together and I flow through the memories every single day. I love you.

10-21-23 - Dearest Barbara, You have been gone from our sight for ten years, but you will never be forgotten. Your distinctive life will be forever celebrated. I will always be grateful to have known someone so wonderful, so bright and so easy to love as you. After we met in the late 70s our connection was immediate and never with any breaks. Each of the memories of times we shared -- from challenges [fortunately, without any friction between us] to the laughs -- I will cherish until the...

MaryAlice Minard and Barbara - 1997 (in downtown Phoenix) I will always treasure with much love our memories of our visits, the stories, the laughs and the "adventures."

10-21-21 - Dear Dear Barbara, As I knew would be the case from the moment I got to know you, from the moment we lost you, you have often been in my thoughts...reminiscing about you, missing you, imagining our chats...nearly every day. And naturally you are even closer in my thoughts today, the anniversary of your birth. As I think about you, two truths still stand: I am very sad that you are no longer physically in our world, but I am very thankful that you were born and that we got to...

Barb and I were married on November 11, 1996. We went our separate ways in 2007. I will always love her, and my time with her is a cherished memory and spiritual highlight in my life. Beautiful, brilliant, talented, devoted and always positive; she was respected and loved by all who knew her. I was so very fortunate to have known the love and light of this wonderful soul.

10-21-15.
So fitting that only days ago I came across a couple of other photos taken of you, Randee and me in New York's Central Park and on the subway. We look so over-the-top happy to be sharing the City together...and what special memories we created. I can't believe that you've been gone two years and it makes me sad how very much I and everyone else who loves you, miss you. But at the same time, I'm grateful for October 21, 1952 and that you and I were able to participate in the...

Thank you for being part of my life Barbara. I am forever grateful. You made a difference in people's lives, inclucing mine.
I too miss sharing long chats and laughter. I often wonder how you would react to certain things, yet others its as if I can hear your response and reactions. I Love You now and forever Barbara. Thank you, Barry

10-21-14. It's your birthday, Barb! Whenever October 21 would roll around, I'd be looking for some way to connect with you to let you know how much I appreciate you & your "specialness," as well as our long-time friendship. Now that we can no longer have exchanges, it will have to be one-sided, but the feelings remain nonetheless. I am so lucky that we got to be friends at KTVK "back in the day" and that we got to subsequently work together in Creative Services, further developing our...
