Not sure what to say?

I has the honor and good times learning from BT,,,,,,,,,,in the fabulous studio she created.... Often we could sit in the glassed in studio over looking Lake Michigan....thunderstorms,Sunny days.......it was a wonderful honor To be included. She set such a great and comfortable stage for the artists to thrive!

Godspeed Barbara, and thank you for sharing a part of your life with us.

Dear George and Camilla, My sincerest condolences for your loss. In our last conversation Barbara spoke of the great care you both gave her during her illness...and of her love for you.

My beautiful painting partner and dear friend. I carry your spirit forward you are missed but I know you are always near. George and Camilla you have been in my thoughts and payers. I am so sorry for your loss. Much love moving forward. She put up an awesome fight over the past year.....

Barbara LIT UP THE WORLD and brought forth the artist in nearly everyone she knew! I treasure the time I spent with her in her Chicago loft, in Lake Bluff and in Jackson Hole.

I always thought Barbara would live to be a very grand old lady. Desperately sorry for Camilla's loss of her mother and for the great vacant space Barbara will have left in the lives of other family members and her husband.

Barbara and I shared a flat in London in 1971/2 after her first marriage ended and she had just finished filming The Possession of Joel Delaney with Shirley MacLaine. She shone. With incredible grace, humour and a glint in her eye.

Our family grew up with Barbara and Rob.We all remember walking up the steepest driveway in Weston. We have only the fondest of memories. We are terribly sorry for your loss

George--
My condolences on your loss.

Michael
