I met Barbara 15 years ago when she helped me with all the paperwork needed for a work transition from Europe to the United States. She was always cheerful and ready to help.

I worked with Barbara at CSU almost 10 years ago.  She was always cheerful and happy to help.  I heard people say only kind things about her.  My deepest sympathies to those who knew and loved Barbara.

Shirley & family
Very sorry to hear about your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I came to CSU  in '97 doing computer support at the time.  No matter the reason I visited her in the office, she always had a sincere welcoming smile that made working with her a true joy.  Her laugh and genuine character will be deeply missed.
My heart goes out to her family.
Robin

My sincere sympathy to you all at this sad time.  May God bless and keep you.

To Kirk and Family,

June, Shirley, Linda, Terri and families,
I am so sorry to hear about Barb.  Please accept my condolences and my prayers for you all as you mourn her loss.

Dearest June, Billy, Kirk, Shirley, Linda, & Teri:
We are very thankful to God for the blessing & friendship of Barb to our family & extending that to include each one of you.  The support & love Barb gave to me as a single mother has always been a most treasured gift to the boys & me.  Billy & Kirk were always considered brothers to my boys. Sharing our lives - back door to back door was something we all looked forward to daily.  We are very saddened to hear of her passing & extend our thoughts, prayers and love to you all.  JoAnne, Larry, Rob, & Steve.

I met Barb on the dance floor at Beethoven's as we were dancing to my husband's band.  She was such a sweetie, and we became instant friends. Barb also worked across the street from me at CSU, and would often come over to my office for a visit.  I will truly miss Barb's bubbly personality and contagious laugh.  I feel honored to have called her my friend. 
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. She will truly be missed by all those she touched during her short time with us.
God Bless.

To Barb's family: 
I knew Barb for around 12 years since I started in the Department of Earth Resources/Geosciences. She was wonderful and I shared many private chats with her about many things. She was blessed with abundant common sense, a refreshing straightforwardness, and genuine honesty. She will be greatly missed.

Barb was a great gal & friend with one of the greatest laughs.  Please accept my sincere condolences.

Barbâ???Ts laugh, her smile, her can-do attitude and tremendous knowledge of the inner workings of the University were all enormous gifts to me during the nine years we worked together in the Earth Resources Department office.  She kept her life outside the university very private (except for stories about her family, of course!).   Although I knew she was struggling with health issues, she did not reveal much to me.  I regret I wasnâ???Tt able to help more directly.  My mother, a breast-cancer survivor, has long supported the Komen Foundation, and I will continue to do so in Barbâ???Ts name.  Perhaps that small act will help someone else bring as much spirit and joy to the world as Barb did for all of us.  She is missed.

Barb and I ran around in the late 70's. We had a lot of fun, I then married Norman in 1980 and she got married herself and we lost touch. I am so sorry to hear of her death, she was a lovely lady and I will always remember getting ready to go to the Silver Saddle where we had many good times dancing with those cowboys! My sympathy to her sons, her sisters and her mom. I have not seen Barb is quite awhile, but I do have fond memories of her.

My deepest condolences go out to Barb's family.  It has been several years since Barb and I have been in touch, but I know her zest for life will be missed.

I'm very sorry to hear about Barbara. I had the opportunity to work with her during her last couple of years at CSU. She was a wonderful and kind person, and will be greatly missed.

To Barb's family,
My sympathy to all of you.  I only knew Barb from Geosciences at CSU, as a department member, but my every interaction with her always included a good laugh about something.  As I read through the memories by so many people who were close to Barb, the one thing that shines through is Barb's laughter.  That is something that I will always remember as well.

Billy, Kirk, June & family,
Barb and I worked and played together at Social Services in Pueblo many moons ago!  Many good memories come rushing back, but I will always remember her smiling face, her kindness, friendship and energetic spirit. God Bless Barbara and her family.  I know she's happy to be with Rocky again and they're both smiling down on us all.

Kirk and Billy -- First I want to thank you for calling me and letting me say goodbye to Barb.  I know this is a difficult time for you and kids aren't supposed to bury their moms...If there is anything I can do for you, now or in the future - please do not hesitate to contact me. I will miss hearing her voice say - Hi Pretty Lady this is Barb! I am so sorry and my thoughts and prayers are with you.  We will all miss her so much.

Kirk and Billy,
    I was very sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. I often have fond memories of Barb and how she always managed to smile no matter the mischief we got ourselves into, well, almost always. I will always be greatful for how she would never fail to have ice cream in the freezer and treats in the pantry for our all night video game marathons. I will truly miss her.
If there is anything Shelby and I can do for you, Please let us know.

To the family of Barb:
I would like to let you all know that my heart is with all of you.  I met with Barb through a good friend of hers, Kathy Alvarez.  Barb was very sweet to me when I started my job with CSU College of Natural Resources.  I enjoyed meeting her and I will miss her dearly.  Thank you all for sharing a great person with me =)

Kirk and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Barb and I have been next door neighbors for so long and I enjoyed her both as a friend and neighbor. She was so good to my grand daughter and so happy to get her little grand baby! My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.  May God bless you. Marcee

kirk and billy,
    Im very sorry for  your loss, my sincerest condolences.

Barb was so supportive of the activities in the Earth Resources Department.  I remember her smile and laughter and cheerful attitude at work.

Barb was my first contact when I moved to Fort Collins.  She was so very kind, nice, and helpful.  I will always remember her for her help during that transition.  She was always a source of positive energy in the office.  She had a great sense of humor and I will always remember her smiling.

Kirk,
    We are so sorry to hear about your mom, but remember that she is in a better place now. She is your angle and will always look after you. Remember those late night talks we had sitting on the patio,talking about all the good times between you and your mom. Never forget those. We are here for you in your time of need and don't hesitate to come ask for help.

Jane brought Barb, Gloria, Patti & myself together many years ago.  We had a special bond because of being single parents. We laughed & partied together at the Mariott, Bethovens, Teddy's. We physically moved each other, painted each others homes. We traveled & vacationed together. We were the sounding board for each other. We called each other on our stuff. We worried about each other & we cried together. We all loved our children deeply & shared so much of their lives with each other.  The only comfort in loosing our friend is knowing she will be experiencing the peace & love God has promised us in eternal life.

My friendship with Barb is one of my dearest treasurers.  Her heart was huge and her care and love for her friends deep and true. I shall miss her the rest of my life. Jane, Gloria, Joni and I shall deeply miss her wonderful laugh and willing participation in social activities together. We had such good times. We took several vacation trips together and shared so much of our lives. These memories I will use as a celebration of her life and try to fill my aching heart in the time to come.  It will be difficult, as true friends are so hard to find and a friend of Barbâ???Ts capacity is even more rare. 
To her wonderful family, thank you for taking such good care of her.  I know it must have been so hard.  She loved you all and you gave her such pride and warmth.  Let the fond memories of her great example for life here on earth and her love for you all fill your hearts and give you strength to carry on as we try to understand what God has planned.

Barb, Patty, Jane, Joan and I used to pal around together and we would all go out dancing on Friday nights. Barb LOVED to dance (and she was good!). We all took a trip to the Black Hills a few years ago and it's such a fond memory of her to have at this sad time. I've missed her and will always miss her. She was such a tender-hearted person and I loved her.  I grieve with all of you, her family.
Sincerely, Gloria

We are so very sorry for your loss.  We will miss her laugh and her bright smile!  Please let us know if you need anything.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all, Barb was a great friend to me and I'll miss her greatly.

Barb was one of my best friends.  She helped me when I was going through a bad time with my significant other who passed away a few years ago.  She was a very caring person who loved her family and friends.  I will miss her and miss our dates at the Black Eyed Pea.  I'm happy to know she is in a better place.

Barb was so full of life. I enjoyed dancing with her and having Bar-B-Q's. Barb was a very very good friend. I would pick her up to go out dancing and we would talk always about her children. Barb will truely be missed by many. Barb touch so many people in her life. She was an amazing woman. I will never forget her and all the fun we had waiting in line for Beanie Babies. Early mornings, McDonalds. We use to laugh so much as we would have to put them in boxes because we couldn't display them all. I am truely sorry for your loss. She is with God now looking down on us and watching over all of her loved ones.

Hi June and family. Sorry for your loss of Barbara. No mother should ever have to go through that. It's not suppose to happen that way. God works in mysterious ways and it is impossible to understand. If you ever need or care to talk please call I'm always here for you!
