Barbara L. Macko

The time that I worked with Barbara at CDE was filled with her wisdom and caring support. I will always remember her as a wonderful influence in my life. My prayers are with her family and I am so blessed to have known Barbara. May the Lord keep you in His hands while you are going through the sadness of her loss.

Our coast-to-coast friendship over the years was not diminished by the miles between us. Barbara always went the extra mile to let you know she was "there" for you. She enjoyed life; I'm sorry it was so short.

This came as a surprise, Barbara was supposed to live longer! I am so sad. I wish you the best memories for life as she will continue to live in your hearts and minds. She was such a good friend to me.

Julie and family,

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I am so sorry for your loss.

Julie and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I know how close you were to your Mom. Please know that all your friends here at the California Department of Education are thinking of you during this time. Please let us know if you need anything. You are definitely in my prayers.

Barbara,

I know you can read this. So I want you to know that you're the kind of lady I want to grow to be. You've helped me in many ways and I thank you for it. I will truly miss you my friend. The Party of Five will miss you greatly. Hey Barbara, have the Lord build us a Huki Laui so that we can resume the party of five tradition.

Love

I only knew Barbara a short time but I thought she was a wonderful person who absolutely adored her grandsons. She will be fondly remembered and greatly missed.
