Dear John and family,
My heart just broke when I heard of the loss of my dear colleague, Barbara. What a wonderful professor and woman she was! The best! She was just a joy to associate with every day. I will pray for God's comfort for the family! God bless you always!

Mrs. Curtin was like my second Mom, she encouraged me when I was growing up and always expressed interest in what I was doing in my life. She dearly loved her family and was so proud of her grandchildren. I thought it was so neat how she and Mr. Curtin (later in life she instited I call them Barb and John) always had time for the family but set aside time for themselves as a couple. I would visit them in Eaglesmere and could tell how much she loved her time there. I will miss her and her gentle ways.
