To Barbara's family. I had the good fortune of doing business with your amazing mother and wife. She was a pleasure. A wit. A professional. A fashion plate. And unforgettable. It has been an honor and a delight. I send my heartfelt condolences and gratitude. For just the little bit I had with her I am better for it. Sincerely. Terry Ventre

Dear Tom, Georgie, and Kendra

It's a very rare occasion when someone as special as Barbara crosses your life's path and makes your journey so much richer. We have been so blest to have been in her presence, shared in her laughter, experience her upbeat approach to life, and be left in stitches as she was telling one of her many hilarious(but true)stories. She will be missed, but thought of often with bit of a fond reflective smile on our faces.
