I was stunned to learn of Barbara's passing two years ago. I just found out by searching the internet, and I am so very sorry for your loss. She was whip smart, and wanted to be a doctor since she was nine years old. What a loss to her family and community. Again, I am very sorry for your loss.

So sorry to hear of Dr Morris passing.
I worked with her as a nurse in her office when it first opened and until 1998.
Condolences to her daughters (who I met at office Christmas parties when they were very young)
She loved you both so much!
Take care

So sorry to hear of Dr Morris´ passing. I couldn´t have asked for a more intelligent, calm, patient person as my first supervisor as I entered into the medical field. She was a great doctor and mentor. She and her office played and continue to play a major role in shaping my career and she will never be forgotten. Thank you Barbara.

Dear Sarah and Jessica,
I was stunned to learn about your mother’s passing Last time I saw her was at SPAC at an orchestra concert, which she was happily enjoying. She was a good friend to me and a superstar physician. We all loved and admired her. May her memory be a blessing to your family. I have planted a tree in her honor.
Best regards,
Helen Edelman

We are so very sorry to hear of Dr Morris’s passing. She was a wonderful doctor to our sons and a good neighbor. She was so calm and reassuring and a wonderful woman. I will always remember her and am thankful that our paths crossed so many years ago. I have thought of her often and am saddened to hear of her passing.

I am so very sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. She (and both of you) were such a crucial part of my life. I will forever be grateful for your mom giving me the opportunity and experience to being your nanny and enough knowledge to continue on that path all of these years. I will continue to pray and hold you all in my heart. Condolences to you both.

Dr. Morris will be dearly missed. She was a wonderful Dr. who was always patient and always made you feel like your child was her only patient. She was very knowledgeable and listened to her parents and didn't dismiss their feelings or thoughts. My boys spent a lot of time in her office and she always was smiling and pleasant. We are so sorry for your loss.
