To the family and friends of Barbara M. Michaud:



Barbie was truly a gift to this world. I have never met anyone so full of life and determination. She had such gusto for any project that she took on. Her hunger for life made an impact on everyone that Barbie came in contact with. She was hard working and one of the most caring people alive. If anyone needed help regardless of who you were she would help in anyway that she could.

I remember all of the amazing times that I've had with Barbie. We would listen to music and dance around, draw silly pictures, talk about movies that we've seen and what we need to go see, helping her find a dress for her award night and helping her get ready for it. She motivated me in so many ways. I was lucky to have Barbie in my life; her kind smile and her big heart made me believe that there are angels on earth. Now she is up in heaven watching over us blessing us with her prayers.





We will all miss you Barbie. I will never forget you.

To the Michaud family,



I am so sorry for your loss. Barbara was truly a graceful, generous woman, and we will miss her spirit and presence on the Bashers. I was one of Barb's softball coaches, and will always remember her for her devotion and determination to do her best for the team. I am going to propose to our team that we dedicate this season to Barbara and that we celebrate her and honor her with a new award in her name: the Barbara M. Michaud Award for Team Spirit.



May her memory be for a blessing.

I volunteer @ Triangle, Barbie was a wonderful friend to me and my sister Cathy McDonough. I will never forget kissing her good-bye on Wednesday, telling her to have a great holiday and I would see her next week. My sister Cathy is usually a passenger in the same van as Barbie. Barbie was always happy, energetic, and very intertested in every project I put on at Triangle. My daughter went to India last year for 6 months to study. My daughter put on a delightful presentation about the culture there and Barbie was the one volunteer to model the sarie we brought in to try on. Her halloween costume this past year was so original and one I will never forget. And her award night was an event I am so glad I did not miss, it was an opportunity to see her other side and meet all of her loving family. My little Barbie has a special place in our hearts and now a special place in heaven. Cathy and I along with so many others will miss her so so much. She was truely a special person who brought love, kindness, compassion and joy to all she touched. May God bless her loving soul.... we are all better for having known her. Love, Mamie and Cathy
