I'm so saddened by the news of Barb's passing. Both my husband and my brother-in-law were patients at BayView and we all looked forward to seeing Barb. We looked forward to the scheduled activities and also the chance meetings in the hallways, etc. She had a gift for connecting with people and the joy showed on her face every day. Please accept my sincere sympathy to all in Barb's family and know that she will continue to live in the hearts of many. Prayers are going out to her and to all of you.
