Not sure what to say?

Dear Rod, Val, Patty, Steve, and Nancy,

Mom told me of your Mom's passing. What a great woman. I have so many memories of her from taking us all to McDonalds to her screaming at us Sunday morning to shut up (it was the only time she could sleep). One of my first memories was her and Jack coming to the house because Sid was beating up Rod. Who knew how big Rod would get and how close Mom and Dad would be to her after that. Of course we can't forget the time she went to pick Patty...

You can pick your friends but you can't pick your relatives but I would pick Barbara as my cousin or my friend any day and she was both to me. Her warmth and love and laughter was felt by all who knew her. We will miss her as all of you will. Sincerely, Lynne York Bloomberg, Newport Beach, Ca.

To the entire Robertson Family; especially, Nancy~ having lived only a few houses away from you in Pittsford on Rippingale Road, I heard so many nice words about your mother; yet, I never knew her. That will always be my loss. However, Nancy, I know you and if you hold even a trace of her spirit, she must have been wonderful. I am sorry for this loss to your world. I hope your aching heart heals as quickly as the smile appeared on your mom’s face as people arrived for her Christmas parties....

To the entire Robertson family: You are in my prayers as you remember your wonderful mother. She was an incredible friend to my Mom and my entire family. I'll never forget her kindness and her "larger than life" personality. God bless you all.

Everyone should have a Barabra Robertson in their life. She was a star....an extraordinary woman....so generous, understanding, brave, funny, beautiful....many more qualities that are rarely possessed by one person. We celebrate your life darling Barbara. Deep love from all the Perlowskis.

Rod, Nora & kids:

While we didn't have the pleasure of knowing Barb (except for Dan's quick dip in the pool on the Cape one a hot August afternoon) we have the benefit of her legacy, your family to gauge her love of life, integrity and sense of family.

All the best to you all,

Love Dan & Ann Marie

Nancy, John, Johnny and Rachel,

Thinking of you with love and prayers.

Mary, Bob, Sarah and CJ Hart

I was so blessed to have known Barbara! She was so full of life and a very gracious hostess! The weeks I spent on the Cape in her home, with her family, are some of my fondest memories! She will live on in her family and friends as we embrace life the way she did. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Val, Glenn, Katie, Rae and the entire Robertson Clan,

Count us as one of the many, many friends from Pittsburgh who have you in our prayers and thoughts. Some of us spent time with your Mom either on visits to Pittsburgh or at "Blue Horizon." She was so gracious and after every meeting I felt like I could call her "Mom." But, she preferred Barbara, and she will always be remembered. Love to all of you; may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
