I am so sad to hear of Barb's passing as she has been a dear friend to me and started me in the travel business years ago. I would keep in touch with her and she sent me many letters when she heard anything about my family. I am from Sturgeon Bay and graduated with her sister, Mary and know most of her family. My husband and I would visit her in Green Bay when we would be in that area. We have a picture together at the Altrusa House. M heart breaks when I look at her picture as she was a "special person" to me!

Few people have meant more to my life, or influenced me more deeply, than Barb Moore. At a formative time (age 24-31), I had the good fortune to work with her --- and in many ways, to learn at her knee. I am forever grateful for both the amazing travel opportunities and invaluable experience learned in leading tours, and, for getting to work on travel publications back in the office. It was a bustling place! But mostly, I am indebted to Barb for her beautiful example of sharing the beauty of this world, along with its crosses, with so many others. Think of the THOUSANDS of people who had some of life's happiest times exploring new places, thanks to Barb's incredible gift of weaving a wonderful tour together. Then, think of the COUNTLESS patients she reassured and tended to so compassionately as an RN. And, then imagine the hospitality she made possible for SO MANY others via Altrusa House, and through her warm, smiling presence at church! And, it was clear that the biggest part of her heart belonged to her family as wife, mother, sister, daughter, grandmother. Barb truly shared her gifts, her wisdom, her time, her energy, her love for life in the most beautiful, gracious ways - never looking for credit, but doing what she did for the sake of spreading happiness and helpfulness. I will always be grateful for every day I got to spend in her midst, and I will always love every moment I am reminded of her: I have a feeling she will still be lending us an inspiration or a hand from above. I love you Barb Moore. God, be extra good to her!

My deepest sympathy to Melanie and Marjorie and the rest of the family. Barb was a great lady. She was always kind and friendly. I ran into her a lot on the east side and waved to her often in her yard. She always remembered who I was and asked about my kids and parents. I can't imagine the loss of a parent but I know it most be painful. My all her memories get you all through this tough time. She will be missed by all that knew her.

I have so many good memories of Barb when we would get together once a month for our Claflin Cousins Club! We worked on genealogy and planned the huge Claflin reunion several years ago. We had a lot of laughs and some tears too! She was a wonderful kind person and will be missed by so many people!My deepest sympathy to all.

My deepest sympathy to Barb's family. She was a wonderful person.
I and many of my friends took many bus trips and a cruise with Barb and/or with her agents in the 80's. We were the youngsters. I always enjoyed the trips and then coming into the office to visit and share our pictures with Barb. She even used some of the pics in her travel books.
My prayers are with you.
