Deepest condolences to Mitchell and family. So very sorry to hear of your loss. Barbara took excellent care of my daughter at Englewood Hospital when she had to have surgery a few years ago. I will always remember Barbara's kindness and the prompt attention she provided. May she rest peacefully...

Barbara, you will be missed as much as you were loved in life. Trips to Petsmart, lunch at The Point and tea at High Societea will never be as much fun again. We talked; we shopped; we ate; we laughed. Who could ask for more! Love, Judy

Barbara was a very good nurse. She worked days I worked evenings as a unit secretary but the little time I spent with her was rewarding. She always stayed late to finish her shift. My condolences to her family. She will truly be missed.
