Steve and Sharon,

Barbara was such an asset to the school system and those of us in administration who had questions appreciated her quick response. She always had time for you and time to answer any concerns or questions. She will be missed. Steve, I didn't see her obituary until it was too late for the service. Paul and I send our sympathies to you and your family. Ellen & Paul Fein
My parents have been lifelong friends of Barbara. I fondly remember the camping trips and I tagged along on the Friday night gatherings when I was home on leave from the military. We had planned on being there, but sadly my mother fell ill and we do not want to leave her alone. We are so sorry for your loss, and we will be keeping the entire family in our prayers.
Barbara has been a very special friend for many years. I have many happy memories of our families on camping trips together and good times with friends playing cards or just having dinner and visiting. Will miss her so much. May she rest in peace.

Steve, we will not be able to attend; we
live nearly three hours away.
