Though four years passed, I still miss you, Ernie. You were the best sister-in-law and most loving sister. So proud of you for being the best role model for your children. Glad that you rested in peace knowing that you left the most wonderful legacy of loving family.

Martha and I were roommates at our Church Retreat Week-end. We had the best time and talked into the early morning hours. She loved her family and so proud of each and every one of you. Sending our condolences and know that you have so many wonderful memories of her.

Our last encounters were at the Hair Stylists----having your beautiful hair taken care of, dressed (as always) in the best of fashion. We exchanged updates on our children and grandchildren. I realized how much I would miss your smiling face and engaging personality, whether on the sidelines of a soccer field, or sitting across from you while being pampered by our favorite Hair Stylists.
Martha, you will be missed by more people than you could imagine. Take care everyone.

My sincere sympathy for this wonderful lady. She was truly a caring, kind and compassionate woman. A fellow WFB grade school and high school friend. Our parents were also friends.
God bless you all at this difficult time.

You called me Beth Anne, even though my middle name was Diane. You were my first grown up friend, I think I was 9 or 10. You were a friend, a mentor, a mom, and an inspiration to me always. You had a love for all things blue, green and purple, a love for VW buses, Black labs, colorful marbles, crazy fun knick knacks, fencing (little know fact) flowers, dolls, good music and most of all your family. You saw beauty in everything. You were so creative... designing the beautiful store fronts on Silver Spring, and making each of your homes a unique and quirky haven, always helping me out in a interior decorating crunch. You called my style funky country. I have so many things you have given me spread around my home and outside, old doors, a bird cage, a bird house, the WC sign, old marbles, old weights, and a big colorful painting you painted that is the highlight of my patio every spring and summer. I can give details of each and every home you owned in the Bay. I loved each and everyone of them and always wanted my homes to look just like yours. The Shoreland house with gift bags hanging from the ceiling on the porch, and the ribbons tied and cut at different lengths in the family room windows. Those were some of my favs, although the doll room at the new house I know you loved... I always thought that when you were alone you went up and talked to them.... you loved those dolls! You loved everything! We had so many good times, Door County when you and I would sneak away to shop, I spent lots of weekend nights at your home hanging out when I was in my 20's, you helped my with Halloween costumes, helped me out of a few crunchy situations when I had no one else to turn to, You taught me how to do flowers for weddings, So many hilarious memories too.....every time I was with you it was funny and we were always laughing. Claudia stories, Door county stories, me watching Molly stories, you getting a ride on a Harley, Fufu our dog and my white painter pants, the damn curly willow you and Dick kept giving me and I would kill it within two weeks. You were also a kind, loving and giving soul, working at Richards with the special ed kids you absolutely adored, constantly helping friends, throwing showers, giving gifts, you helped me with flowers for a friends wedding and you didn't even know her. You gave yourself daily to anyone who needed you. I miss you so. Once the tears stop I will be able to forever look around my house, smile and enjoy every piece of Martha I have and all the beautiful memories that go with it... I love you so much, I thank you for a lifetime of love and laughing and for truly being my inspiration...Rest in Peace Martha Barr

Martha's brother Gus remains my life-long friend, while my late sister Susan was friends with Martha. I fondly remember my most recent visit with Martha in Whitefish Bay. While her passing is difficult, especially for family, there are many, including myself, for whom a fondest of memories of Martha will keep her alive in our hearts. My thoughts will be with the family during this difficult period of loss.
