Went to grammar school and high school with Barb.  She was always fun to see and talk to. So sorry to hear about her passing and so sorry I didn’t get up to see her.  She’ll be missed.

We got to know Barb through the Saint John Neuman Small Christian Community. She was always so much fun to be around.
We will certainly miss her. 
We’re in Florida and regret that we will not be able to attend her funral mass.

I have know Barbara for 34 years while she lived at Sunnybrook.  It was alway nice when Barbara came to the Leasing Office and spent time talking with me about her family. She loved her family dearly. I will miss all the flowers she planted in the garden outside her town house and just seeing her sitting on her patio or under the tree. I will think of Barbara fondly everyday when I come to work and look out of my office window at her home.

Very sorry to read of Barb’s passing.  She was one of my favorite physical therapy patients over the years.  It was always a treat when she would stop by to say hello.  Her feisty personality will be missed here.
