for Dick, Bud, and the rest of the Zeiss clan,
im sorry health and gtransportation issues prevented me from attending these last few days' eventss. i hope barb doesnt hold it against me. Barb and Dick's happy home was my only reason to venture into north county, and our occasional afternoons at O'Cs complemented that on the south side. if there's a better place then im sure barb is there waiting to see who will join her.

I met Barb at UM-St. Louis in 1991. She was a diligent worker--accurate and fast. The university was fortunate to have her continue to work even after retirement age. I enjoyed lunches with Barb and the university girls until just recently. Barb always expressed her love and pride for her family, showing the latest pictures whenever we met. I will remember her as strong, fun-loving woman. I pray for peace and comfort for you, Dick, and all family members.

We were sorry to hear about Barb's passing. I know my words of condolences cannot do justice here, but hope this quote from an unknown author might help express the way we fell. "There are things we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go". Please accept our deepest sympathies on your loss. Greg, Kathleen, Cameron, and Caroline.
