Barbara Jean, always a breath of fresh air.
These treasured moments flash through my mind and warm my heart. Thank you for all the special times you carved out just for me. Thank you for welcoming me and my girls and including us in this big, beautiful and wacky family.
One of my favorite things about you is the closeness and bond you bring to all interactions. I have been enchanted by you since the day...

Dear Walker family, I am so sad to hear of Barbara's passing. I apologize for missing the funeral but, unfortunately, I just found out about it today.

She was such a wonderful, funny, warm and loving woman and I have such great memories or her and my Mom through the years. So many stories!

Again I apologize for not being there and would certainly have come had I known.

I know everyone that knew her is sad at not having that funny smiling face around any more-but think...

Deepest sympathy on the loss of Barbara, you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Ralph and Marie Gardner.

I feel so privileged to have had the pleasure to share several weeks with Barbara a couple years ago Her smile was infectious and her spirit so calming.

John, thank you for allowing us to spend that unforgettable time with the two of you. Our prayers are with your family.

This may seem far-fetched to my Walker cousins, but I am just old enough to remember the lucky times I got to go to Barbara Walker's house when I was a wee tot in Granby. Every once in a while, there would be a time when my parents would be visiting their hometown with my sister and I, and we would end up at my uncle Jeff's parents' house.

I am grateful to have met you, Barbara. I enjoyed our talks, your advice, and your surprising ability to shock and make me snicker. You are a tribute and a reminder to continue to be beautiful strong women.

Barbara, you have inspired me the last 25 years especially as a Mom! Your life and legacy exudes love! Love you very much!!

Barb, say hi to our good buddy Paul Newman. Love ya, Lynne
