I knew her as "Debbi's mom. Such a lovely, sweet, kind lady. She is sorely missed by her loving daughter. It was a privilege knowing her.

I loved celebrating holidays and events with Barbara.  She lived a long and good life.  I wish I could have heard her sing!

Barbara was a pleasure to be with. She always saw the positive in people and events. We didn’t get to know Barbara for very long, but the time we did share was special.

Barbara was a gem...so thoughtful and caring to all she interacted with. I have many fond memories of events and her deep kindness.

From Elaine Waters,  Phoenix  AZ  :     Barbara was the REAL sister I never had…. She was smart, creative, artistic, musical and fun and we would always have a wonderful time visiting about the things  that had happened   in our lives.  I loved her and miss her….. I am so glad that she was a part of my family….. Elaine Waters, Sister-in-Law.  

I'd been friends with Deb for a while before getting to meet Barbara, but her reputation as a Josh Groban fan was well established! Deb would laughingly tell us about how enamoured her mom was with Josh, and all the concerts they had gone to. Deb was so good about making sure they got to attend events together. I always looked forward to Barbara's visits. It was fun to shop, eat, get hugs.
