Hey Barb, missing you as always. Spring is here and with it comes alot of memories. I have to clean up some stuff on my desktop and it was alot of work from you from 2 to 3 years ago. Finally got to the point where I feel its ok to remove. Always in thought and prayers. Icon

It has taken such a long time for me to add anything to this page.
I miss BJ alot.I find it really difficult at times to go down Moravia and not look up the side street to see her car to determine whether she is home or not.I was there to take her home after both knee surgeries.I miss being called "Big Head", but I know where you are girlfriend.

Barbara was a "strong black" woman in every sense.
It was really inspiring to witness her battling her illness and it never took away from her generous and compassionate nature with others. She will truly be missed.

It's so weird that my mom is gone, I keep thinking she's still here. But I know she'll always be with me and will watch over me. We didn't always get along but I loved her and always will. She was the strongest woman I know. I love and miss you mom.

Barbara was one of the strongest people I ever met. She seldom complained about what she was going through or how she was feeling. I'm going to miss her beautiful eyes, smile and 'can do' attitude.

Aunt Barbara was the first person outside of our immediate family that we've met, and we've spent a lot of time with her. Probably the closest member of our family, and she will be dearly missed. I'm still in disbelief that this has happened.

Aunt Barbara loved to talk to our 6 year-old son. I remember when I first met her at Christmas time 1999. We played games and she was so competitive. She was such a strong woman. She will be greatly missed by all.

Barbara was not only a co-worker but she was a friend. She was an inspiration in more ways than one. We shared laughter and we shared tears and I will miss her every day but I know that her light shines on and I know that I will see her again. I love

Barbara and I worked together for over 8 years. She was my supervisor, my mentor and an exceptional friend. We were like family. We laughed together, we cried together, we inspired each other. She was truly a wonderful person. Her ability to move forward and be such a strong person while enduring such difficult times has made me even a stronger person. I will miiss her so much.She will always be with me in mind and spirit. Never to be forgotten. Love you Barb
