Dearest Barbara, I think of you often with appreciation for encouraging and supporting me as beauty and health editor of Bride's all those years ago! I pray that in these years without your beloved husband you find comfort in God and with the people you love. Warmest Blessings! ~ La Verne Tolbert (Irving)

Don was a special man of remarkable talent and commitment. I remember vividly when he picked my wife and me up on a rainy night in Poughkeepsie after we hit a deer and totaled our car on our way to the farm. When we arrived at the farm he and Barbara sat us down in front of the fire with excellent cognac to settle our nerves. A special man with a special wife! Frank Fahrenkopf

I think of you often. Your quite confidence and reassuring smile. I carry your teachings with me everyday. See you soon.

Wonderful caring gentleman.
Loved his beautiful wife Barbara with strength and passion
and devotion

I greatly admired Donald. He was immensely supportive of me throughout my career. He did so much good all his life . I too have had Parkinson's for over 30 years and certainly understand why he chose to end his life. This is a very difficult disease. Love, Zarela Martinez
