Barbara A. Rivera

Jaime,

My deepest sympathy to you and your children! We were so shocked with the news about Barb. Please know that you can call us for anything!

Love, Jim and Mia Martin

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life’s routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

It has been one week tonight since Barb left us and I'm still trying to find the right words to say. Having worked with Barb for the past 7 years, I had the opportunity to get to know her spirit, drive, and determination. Whether I was training in the first department we worked in together or working side-by-side with her as my immediate boss in SI, one thing was clear: Barb was all about empowerment and making BU a better place for students. Her commitment to quality and hard work will...

MY THOUGHTS & PRAYERS GO OUT TO YOUR FAMILY. I WENT TO LOGAN & BELLEVUE WEST WITH BARB. MAY BARB REST IN PEACE.

I had the pleasure of meeting "Barb" in ninth grade at Logan Jr. High. For some reason, she thought I was funny, and I always made her laugh. I will never forget her smile, upbeat and positive personality, and the fun we had keeping in touch and reconnecting long after we'd graduated from high school. It was both a joy and an honor to have known her. My heart and prayers go out to her entire family. May God bless you and comfort you all during this difficult time.

Jamie and Rachel,
Our hearts and prayers go out to both of you. We are so sorry we couldn't attend the funeral or be of any real help this week as we have the flu. We will be there for you both as soon as we can.
God Bless,
The Gomeringers

Barb was a genuine person and it was a pleasure to work with her. She was a most positive and inspiring force at BU. Her presence will be surely missed and I am lucky enough to have known such a person. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. My heart goes out to all of you.

Jaime and family,

Sorry for your loss, Barbara was a wonderful person and will be missed by all. I and my family will keep yours in our thoughts and prayers.

To Barb's family,

We were truly blessed with such a wonderful wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and for so many of us...a great friend. I will forever be greatful to have had Barb in my life. She was not only a great co-worker, but was a great friend. Barb and I have worked together for over 20 years. It was only within the last year or so that Barb and I began getting really close. I feel so sad that I have lost a peer, a confidant, but most of all a friend. Jaime and...
