I was actually friends with Barbara. We did share the same first name so it was natural. One time when I was in town about a year ago. I went to her house for breakfast.

My deepest sympathy,

Barbara was a lovely woman. I met her through my Uncle Carl his companion for many years. After Carl passed on, I would see her with my mom for Chinese food when I was in town. I live in New York City. She was always quick to laugh and smart and kind. She will be missed. My sympathy to her family.

I only knew Barbara as the Companion to Carl Skalla. She was always sweet, friendly and helpful. She was always supportive of Carl and his Barbershop Quartet friends.Her home was always open for Board meetings and other gatherings. After Carl passed she kept in touch with us and attended many of our functions.
She will be missed
