I was very sorry to hear about Barbara's passing. I had the honor and pleasure of working with her for many years at The Hartford. She did an outstanding job with the rehabilitation nursing program working with nurses all around the country. She often talked about her love of shopping and how the economy of the country might be in trouble if she ever stopped buying. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family. She was a wonderful and fun person.

I was sadden to hear about Barbara’s passing. I got to know Barbara very well during my career with The Hartford, initially working with her in the Washington DC Regional as well as in various Hartford offices throughout my career
and enjoyed the numerous times we worked together. The last time we visited, telephonically, was several years ago and had many wonderful memories to share. My sincere condolences to her family.
