she has physically left us behind, but she will continue to live on in our memories...a dozen things happen every day that make me think of her and the amazing lady she was. i am so thankful i was able to spend so much time with her over the last decade or so- my life is enriched and i am a better person for it!

Barbara was sharp as a tac and loved to live life. She had a great sense of humor and always added a certain level of light and comfort to the room.

Jane, Lynne, Jeanne and Jill: I'm so so sorry. Aunt Barbara was SO special and was very much loved and admired. My heart goes out to you all at this terribly sad time....but what a time Barbara had in her life...one so full of fun.
I love you girls.
