The loss of this special, special lady takes my breath away. My mind still doesn’t want to believe it. My heart breaks for Joe, Victoria and all her love one . You couldn’t put a number on Barbara’s age, she was a vibrant spirit with a soul sweet and loving to all . I will miss my sister friend but I know she is running across Heaven and bugging GOD for job to keep her busy.

God speed in your next journey Mom and till we meet agian know I will miss and love you

I was stunned to hear of Mrs Barbara's passing. She was so full of life and excitement. I enjoyed printing her family pictures but the most fun I had was working on her Skydiving collages. Her vibrancy in embracing adventure at her age challenged me to live more fully now. She will be truly missed by all who knew her.

Barbara was a joy to be around. I was amazed at her telling of her zip lining and sky diving trips. I told her about my sister wanting to zip line before she dies and she would laugh when I told her I told my sister I wanted to die before I zip lined. She told me of her sister not wanting to do those things either............... I said her sister and I could enjoy watching while she and my sister did them

Barbara was an extraordinary woman that I wish I had met sooner. She went out of her way to help me and was a joy to chat with. I will miss her. I know Barbara's family will miss her but I sure hope there are zillions of great memories to look back on. My sincere condolances to the family and close friends. May she rest in peace and look down upon you.
