Although I was not her primary nurse at Dana Farber in Weymouth, I did interact with Barbara on several occasions. She was so sweet. No matter how poorly she might have felt, she always had a smile on her face and never complained. She loved her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and she shared her love of them with me on the occasion of the birth of my first granddaughter this summer. Afterward, she would always ask me how my granddaughter was doing. You can tell she loved her family so much. She is now without suffering and at peace. May you be comforted by your loving memories of your beautiful Barbara!
