Barbara was SO happy and enthusiastic in every interaction. She always gave me great advice. It's so sad that we've lost this bright star. I worked with Barbara at Marshall Fields Oriental Rug Dept and also at my design shop in Glenview. So shocked to hear this news. She will be missed. My condolences to the family.

What a delightful woman Barbara was ! She had such a super smile and was so very talented ! It was always a pleasure for me to be in her company ! I was not able to attend her Visitation or Mass and that broke my heart ! My prayers and sympathy for you all !!!

Dear O'Malleys, so very sad for your loss but I know all those precious memories will sustain you & be a source of enriching comfort. Barbie's spirit soars now and look for signs of her presence...per chance, some star dust nearby and routine visits from a fine-feathered creature. Take care & love to all, Suellen

I am deeply saddened to hear about your sweet sister's passing. "Babs" brightened up my life! I was lucky that our paths crossed when I was at Indiana University and afterwards. Special memories of Babs will forever warm my heart!
May her special spirit and treasured memories comfort you!
My deepest sympathy,

I am so sorry for the loss of your love one. May you find peace in remembering the precious moments. God's Word gives us a brighter hope for the future. Death will be brought to nothing - 1 Corinthians 15:26.

My love, thoughts and prayers go out to you my dear O'Malley cousins Martha, Melissa, Ed, Jeane and Tom. You and Barbie have always held such a very special place in my heart. I know you are all going to miss Barbie so very much but she is also now happy in her eternal home with your Mom and someday we will all be reunited with them.
My deepest sympathy to you and your dear spouses and all Barbie's nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews.
I so wish I could be with you Saturday but please know that my heart will be with you all.
Much love,
Mary Kay
