So sorry for your loss. We had the pleasure of getting to know Barb when we visited her and Rose in New York two years ago. What a kind soul! She will be missed. Prayers for her sisters and extended family.

Wishing Barbara´s sisters and family the condolences of a longtime friend. Barbara and I met at Barnard, shared adventures, and managed to stay connected as busy lives progressed. Barbara´s laugh, her depth, her love of books, and her quizzical sense of the absurd will be remembered. As Barbara forges ahead into eternal life, I wish her ongoing fulfillment and joy. Godspeed, old friend. Cara

My condolences to her sisters and nieces and nephews. I have very fond memories of working with Barbara at Shearman & Sterling. I will miss our birthday dinners we shared to catch up. I hope you're at peace dancing with the angels! Will miss you! Tom
