I am so sorry to hear of Barbara Ann's passing. It was such an honor to work with Barbara Ann at CID. She was a truly special person and I'll always remember the positive impact she had on our team.
She was a diligent and caring member of our team and a key player in developing our new personnel. I always admired how she lived out her faith through her work and her commitment to attending daily mass. She was so proud of her family, and loved sharing stories about you all.
Barbara Ann made a lasting impact on everyone around her. She will be deeply missed.
With deepest sympathy,
Darren

My memory of Barbara Ann goes back more than 30 years ago when she was a key and essential member of our CID Team at Fort Lewis. Always one of the best!
May the angels welcome you into paradise Barbara. And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest in eternal peace with the Lord.

Barbara Ann was a colleague first and then became a dear friend. From being a very supportive co-worker she became one of my closest friends. Always lending an ear, always listening and giving her best advice. When we decided to move to idaho she was there helping to pack up the house. When the house didn´t sell right away, she brought over st. Joseph and buried it. The house sold a few days later. Every Good Friday she would save a seat for me in church, knowing I would come to the service. So many good memories of a dear friend and an overall good person. I miss her -mostly late- Christmas letters already. Rest in peace dear friend.

Barbara and I were not only family, we were dear close friends. Spending lots of time with our New Jersey cousins as we were growing up was just the start of our loving friendship. As she and Ike traveled across the USA and I took off of my life´s sojourn, our paths crossed many times, in: Florida, California, Colorado, Montana and Hawaii. Even into our retirements (Washington for Barbara & Ike and Greg & I, in Las Vegas we both made it a point to visit with each other on our travels. In between visit we were also talking or texting each other. We seemed to have a sixth sense as to when we needed to talk; and we made sure it didn´t interfere with daily mass or the rosary. We will miss her and will keep her and the family in our prayers.

I remember a college field trip with 6 other students and Dr. Sebastian in a station wagon. We had to stay in a hotel room one night and that took all our money . We were in the Keys and were supposed to camp out but the mosquitos were unrelenting. What did we do, we called Barbara and Ike. Yes they could put us up. No we didn't need to pay. Come on over. We stayed several days and had a wonderful time. Only Barbara and Ike would do that.
