Barbara was one of the kindest and most loving person that I have ever met. We met the first day of kindergarten for daughters. From that day to this we became fast friends. We enjoyed our lunches together. We would sit for hours together and laugh and talk. Barbara and I love animals. We were so blessed to have so many. We spent many hours here in my home eating “Giggle Soup” and discussing our shopping adventures or our daughters, husbands or our wonderful pets. She always and I mean always was a positive person. She was my sister from another mother. I will miss her and her beautiful smile. Barbara give my love to Ernie and Ron and save a place for me as I want to see you again.

It’s taken me a while to understand that I have lost my dearest, one of my longest, wonderful girlfriend since we were 13 years old. My heart hurts, but I understand it’s part of the circle of life. Extendingmy most heartfelt condolences to Tracy, Jim, and her most loved granddaughter, Olivia!!!
My beautiful mama….. I can’t believe you are gone, I know you’re not really gone but present in my life in a different way. I’m so happy you get to spend your anniversary with daddy this year. Even though I may not have said it enough, you are the greatest mother and grandma we could ask for. I know you knew that. You and daddy were the best parents I could have ever had… I’ll see you again someday but in the meantime, I carry your love and support with me every day.
My heart goes out your family I met Barbara when I became co-teachers with her many many years ago . An incredible Friendship developed, and she became a very cherished friend. When I think of Barbara, I can see little containers of applesauce that she would eat every day with her lunch. I see crossword puzzles, and a little sweet with every meal. Barbara had one of the kindest hearts I know and her positive attitude on life was pretty remarkable. I will miss being able to talk to her and as we used to say gab about New York. What a blessing that she pushed her granddaughter Olivia into my class as one of the youngest , because of that I got to know her family, and that has been a true blessing in my life.
No matter how often or not often we spoke. She always reminded me that we were always together in heart.
May her memories keep her alive in all our hearts
Barbara was such a lovely woman with a beautiful soul. I have such fond memories of the first time I met your mother, when we took our moms out for coffee together. She was kind, welcoming, and made that moment feel easy and special. I’ll always remember her warmth and the way she made us feel so comfortable. She will be deeply missed, and I’m holding you and your family in my thoughts and heart.
