Kurt,
Your dear wife Barbara was one of the most wonderful people that I had the honor of meeting and working with in my life. There were many times that I would seek her counsel and she was always there for me. We will all miss her but that cannot compare to your loss. Val and I offer our deepest sympathy to you and your family.

From Charles Mouteng, Database Group Manager at the City of Philadelphia's Office of Innovation and Technology:
Thank you Barb for always welcoming me with a smile at BRT (Board of Revision of Taxes) in my early days with the City (March/April 2004). You made the difference for me: the difference between stressing out at the idea of going to work and looking forward to meet people you know have received you. You were always available to answer my questions and would not hesitate to volunteer valuable information. I will remember you. Thank you.

Kurt, Michael, Gerry - Barb always told me how well I write but somehow I cannot find the words to describe how sorry I am for your loss. Barb was a great friend, mentor & colleague and I'm going to miss her so much.

The Krauss Family,
Barbara was a "Special Lady". She will never be forgotten, she always had a smile on her friendly face. She made the best pizzeles, and never forgot to take some in when she came back from holiday vacation. Barbara will be missed, but, she is pain free now and watching us all from above. God Bless You All.

September 19, 2011

Dear Kurt: I can't begin to imagine how you are feeling right now but know that your friends, even those from childhood, are there for you. I only met Barb a few times but I knew from the first that she was a lovely woman and that you were a lucky man. Take care and God Bless you and your family. Eleanor (McAllister) Martin
