I have a lot of good memories about our family friend Barb. She made our neighborhood an extended family. I was always welcomed when I rang the doorbell. My mother enjoyed Barbs company. They always talked about their health problems. It was a support system between two friends. She even thought of me when I had my brain surgery and gave me a gift. She gave me my favorite perfume! She will be missed as a thoughtful and caring person. Mitchells, if you need to talk let me know! Barb and Ward are probaly sharing the neighborhood news! Like the old times! Love always, Carrie and Shirley James

John, Tammy, Dennis, Justine and Danny,
Barbara was a wonderful friend who enriched the lives of all who knew her. She had a welcome smile and tasty tidbit for all who came to her door. That smile remained through all the hospital stays and illness she endured. She was an inspiration.
The love, care, and sacrifice you all displayed these past years has given true meaning to the word family.
Love,
Joe and Marie Johnson, Averill Park, New York

To: The Mitchell family,
My sympathy goes out to you all for the lost of Barbara. She was a good person and I know how Danny, feels right now. Because, when my grandparents pass away it was hard to believe that they left and so I know how he feels. So Danny, don't think she is gone because, she not she is looking down on you right now and know you care and miss her. So keep your chin up and keep leaving and keep praying and remembering all the good times in the past. That what keeps me going.

Justine, Mr. Mitchell and family,
I was so sorry to hear that Barbara had past away. I will too, always remember Merrill Drive and our times with Justine at the house and our times with Justine trying to find something to do over the summer!!! Mrs. Mitchell was always willing to let EVERYONE over to swim in the pool! As I am a stay at home mom for my children I understand the sacrifice our moms made back then for us and hope that our kids will see just how much we loved them and wanted them to have there moms at home. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Justine, Mr. Mitchel and family,
I too will remember the wonderful summer days your mom gave us opening her home and pool to the whole gang of us. Those memories of my childhood on Merrall Drive are so special and are engrained in my mind forever and your entire family is a big part of them. It was a great sacrifice of your mom as well as all of ours being "home" for us each day to give us such a perfect and special childhood.
I am so sorry for your loss and please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Dear John, and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. I was fortunate to meet Barb and your family when Barb spent over a year with us at Albany Med. I was instantly attracted to her constant smile,the patience she endured during some very rough times during her stay, and of course her great personality. She will always hold a very special place in my heart as will you John for your deep love and the tireless support you gave Barb.
