I am also sorry to hear about Barbara's passing. Like many others, I remember her from the Class of 1971 at North Arlington High School.

I heard of Barbara's passing from Lorraine. Barbara,Lorraine, Pauline and I were best friends in High School.
I will never forget my Sweet 16 at Barbara's house, and the popcorn that
she threw all over the family room. Her mother was so upset about the mess we made, but what a great memory. She will always be in my thoughts. I am so sorry for her loss. Love, Dona DeGennaro Lamm xxxooo

To a Dear, departed sister, Bugra, I will surely miss you! And your uncanny ability to sum things up so many times with just ONE word. Barbara left at 1am on January 15, 2011. I remember meeting her the first day of NAHS in Mr.Miller's art class.She asked me over and I was thrilled to have a new friend. At her house that day, we looked at old photo albums and to our surprise, I was in all her confirmation pictures sitting right next to her in church! We were 12 then...time flies stay in touch with your friends!

I was shocked to read about the loss of your beloved Barbara. Memories are the legacy of love. I spent many years at NAHS & in your home creating some of my happiest & fondest memories with your daughter. When your heart is empty, fill it with your joyous memories. Find comfort in knowing you were a special part of such a well-lived life.
