It is so hard for me to put into words my sadness at losing Barb. She was my best friend and we shared many wonderful years. Travel, golf, tennis. We laughed at ourselves trying new ways to get fit.

I was privileged to love Auntie Barbara and share so many wonderful memories with her! She always spoiled me with Munson´s White Chocolate Almond Bark during the many sleepovers I enjoyed at her home in Cheshire. We baked together, laughed together and enjoyed each other! Auntie Barbara was the most generous, genuine and loving woman I have ever known! Her laughter and love will be missed! I know she is our newest angel and at peace! I will miss you Auntie Barbara! Thank you for the memories and love! and my Munson´s addiction!

Steve and Jeff,
So sorry of Barb´s passing. It really breaks our heart we will miss her so very much. She was my first best friend in Cheshire. We were involved in numerous activities in Cheshire. Her family always came first and when she came in a room her personality would shine. Jason and Jeff bonded when they were 3 and Amy and Jodi loved being with Barbara as well. She was so entertaining funny, interesting and knowledgeable. It was a gift to be her friend. We are so grateful and blessed. The memories we will hold close to our hearts forever. We love you.

I met Barb when I interviewed her for a job at MHC as an Intake coordinator. We became fast friends supporting each other through many years. I considered her one of my best friends as I was to her. We gave each other reality checks whenever needed. I will miss her dearly. Steve and Jeff, I feel your loss but as I know she is only a thought away. Love to both of you.
