Barbara Will always hold a very special place in my heart, as I achieved my first big-ticket sales win solely because of her. I can't thank her enough for that.
Despite being my client, she was very approachable, warm, and non-intimidating and never minced words.
It is really sad to know that she is no more. I would like to extend my sincere condolences to the bereaved family. May her soul rest in peace.
Sincere regards.

I am so glad I knew Barb. I will never forget her smile and her gentle manner. I met her through SOAR and we served on the BIDEN/SOAR Summer Institute Planning Committee, where she was an enormous help in supporting the success of the conferences. I appreciate the chance we had to work together, and to laugh and keep positive while we were doing the work!

You were such a blessing to so many people, and animals. Just hearing of your passing takes a chunk out of me - far too early in your life. We spent so many sessions together searching the internet for this and that - you helped so many folks at work. I enjoyed hearing about your various animals and how much you loved your property. It was fun sharing stories with you. I am deeply saddened that you are gone from this world but look forward to seeing you in the next. Prayers and condolences for your family.

I knew Barbara for over 40 years. We shared an office in graduate school and have been close friends ever since.
Barbara was a sparkling bright ray of sunshine. It was in her smile, her voice, her laugh, and in her beautiful penmanship. She brought gusto into everything she did, whether it was selling an item on EBay or planning a fundraiser. I was in awe of her energy, enthusiasm, and passion.
Most of all, Barbara was an incredibly kind, generous and loving person. She loved German Shepherds, and she would adopt only senior dogs. Even though she knew her senior dogs wouldn't be around very long, Barbara said she felt "any extra quality time they can have here on earth is worth it." What a gift she gave to the pets she adopted and what an inspiration she was to all of us who knew and loved her!

Barb, my dear dear friend and neighbor. How did this happen? We had each others backs, we looked out for each other. I feel so negligent that I couldn't help you in some way. We are all just devastated. I will miss your nickel deals from Shop Rite. I will miss all the knowledge you shared with me and the kids about gardening. You were so passionate about so many things. I will cherish our last conversation together when you shared with me how wonderful your work life was going and you flashed your beaming smile. I'll miss your awesome laugh and your quick wit. Until we meet again-eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon her. Rest in Peace Barb ❤
