Joan - I just looked your mother up on an impulse - I am sorry to hear of her passing and glad that I knew her the bit I did. Not many kids can say they grew up across the street from her! I have never forgotten her friendship with our family. and how graciously I was received into your home.

Joan, My deepest condolences to you and your family at your loss . Your mother was a truly incredible woman. She was always very kind to me whenever we played together as children in that great house on Gibson Street.

Dear Joan—I did not meet your mother but feel I learned a lot about her from talking with you over the years. Having read her amazing biography I now know a bit more about how you became who you are, given the fantastic model that she provided. I hope you are consoled by the loving care and devotion you offered her in these last years, as well as by the fact that you have fulfilled in your own way the full life that she modeled.

Dear, Ackermann Family, I am sorry for you loss. I have great memories of when your mother served on the Cambridge City Council with my father. Back then they may have had different philosophies, but respected one another and got along. Today's politicians could learn a great deal from your mother's book.

I am so sorry to heard of Barbara's passing. Our family was involved in her 1960's campaigns in Cambridge. She was a strong woman, a role model and example for young women and men alike.

To the Ackerman Family:
Please accept my deepest sympathies. Barbara touched many people and she truly cared for each of them.
I remember up to just a few years ago, she would join her fellow elected officials down the street from her home and march to the Cambridge Cemetery each Memorial Day. It was a pleasure to see her.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Michael Sullivan
