To Tony and family: I was so saddened to hear of Barbara's passing today! She was such a kind and gracious lady...always smiling and caring. She was a large part of what I enjoyed as I served the Virginia Choral Society as Conductor and Artistic Director. I send you my condolences and sincere wishes for comfort in a life very well lived.

We both extend our sincerest sympathy to Tony and the entire family at the loss of Barbara. We enjoyed her company for many years in the Virginia Choral Society and singing with her on special occasions at Noland Memorial Church. She was a special lady and we will miss her friendship in our lives. It is our hope that the family will find comfort knowing that friends are thinking about them at this time of sorrow.

God's blessings,
Kim and Al Schweizer
