I am saddened and shocked to hear of Barbara's passing. I was just thinking about her on Monday this week and about to give her a call so we can get together with some of us here at family support. I met Barbara while working at family support. I enjoyed some of her stories that she told back in the younger days. She was a great cook too. I remember she would always offer me some of her adobo, mustard greens salad and lumpia. She's now in heaven cooking for them and having a good time and telling stories. May you rest in peace Barbara. Condolences to the family.

Barbara,

I think Margaret nailed it. You will make the angels laugh. There was never a dull moment at the Dept. of Child Support Services with you around. My thoughts are with the Tuscano family.

I am in shock and so saddened. I will miss you Barbara, my friend of many yrs. Barbara and I have been friends from as far back as Mission Hill Jr. High School. We share memories of a long time. She was planning on attending a lunch with several of her friends and I for three of our current and former co-workers from the Department of Child Support Services, on March 24, 2012. I cannot believe she will not be there with us. Barbara ADORED her kids, grandkids, greatgrand kids beyond words. Barbara did not have an easy life, many struggles, but I had hoped and prayed that she would have a happy retirement. I can't believe she has left us so soon. I will never forget her hearty laugh; her HAIR - (is my envy showing?); her wonderful "worthy-of-being-a-chef" cooking abilities - her potato salad and pork adobo were just 2 of her amazing meals that were the best I'd ever had; I will never forget her tenderness with kids; the way she never wanted anyone to know how sad or hurt she was, by covering it up with a "carefree" attitude. Again, I am so sad; prayers and blessings to you, my friend. Love, Linda Kambitsch-Vazquez (or because of my Italian heritage, she used to tease me by calling me "Louigi")...
