Barbara's elegance, candor, integrity and wisdom will always hold a special place in our hearts and memory.  She exemplified true and admirable qualities earning respect and affection from those fortunate to have crossed paths with her.  Generous, thoughtful and fair, she shared herself lovingly and loyally to family and friends.  Barbara was always there for her husband and family and she maintained life-long friendships that stood the test of time....nearly a century in several cases.  Very down-to-earth, she was at-home with all types of people and they responded to her genuineness.  With Barbara, you would always feel welcome and that you mattered, because you were and you did.  Her friendship and caring are gifts that will always be treasured and kept alive in our hearts.

Mrs. Brandt (as I always called her) was so giving and thoughtful.  She threw a bridal  shower for me and then a baby shower after my mom passed away . I’ll never forget her generosity and what a magnificent hostess she was. The Martha Stewart of her day! She always made it look effortless when we know it wasn’t. 
Our families grew up together and shared so many memories in our neighborhood and on a few vacations. She was a big part of my childhood and my young adulthood and was such a good friend to my mom, who left us way too soon. 
I feel so blessed that I was able to see her just  last year at Jerry Scott’s 90th birthday party. along with Dianna. What a surprise and a treat to see them both! 
We sat and talked for a long time, catching up on our families and remembering old times. She seemed just as sharp then as she had always had been, so it was very  special, but even more so now. 
Time goes by so quickly,  I’ll never forget her. 💗
My heart goes out to Dianna, Nancie, Jim and Rob. Tomorrow will be the hardest day of your life, but she’ll be there with you, holding you up with her love, just as she always has.

I'll treasure the many memories we made together... 
from ice cream breaks, special holidays,  toasting "Happy Anniversary" to Bill and Monday morning trips to the market.
The one special memory I'll carry always... was the scent that always came home with me at the end of the day...the scent of your favorite perfume of Chanel No 5.
It's my favorite as you know. I'd often chuckle and say I no longer had to wear it because i always smelled like you now. 
Thank you for always making me feel like "family".
