It is with gratitude that I get to share as “family”…

What I have learned is that we are all given a vehicle to get through life and when that vehicle no longer shares the same roads - the memories, the laughs and the life’s celebrations get to continue - for this, I am truly thankful.  
You played a part in my life that was beyond a sister in-law and a friend.   You were there for me when I came to California in 1986 - in a condition that many wouldn’t want to welcome.  But you did and you were such a large part in my becoming the man I am today.
In 1997, after the loss of my wife - again, you stepped in to help me care for my brand new baby daughter and my three year old son.  A task that wasn’t easy and certainly not something I could have done - without you…
You are and will always be, one of my best angels.   
You filled a part in my heart and in my life that is big.   
Thank you Barbara - thank you for all your time, love and hope that you have given to me….   
 
I’m blessed…

My dearest Mommy, there are no words that can take away this ache in my heart. It is filled with a great since of Peace and Serenity knowing that you are home with our Father. Life will be so wonderful now. No more pain or suffering. Your last words to me 1/2 hour before you passed were “I love you baby girl and thank you for all you do. Until we meet again 🙏

It is with fond memories that I recollect and hold dear as I think of Barbara. I know her as a loving Mom to her her four children, an intelligent businesswoman, having worked as general manager at the Recycler, and a caring and generous lady, as she opened up her home to me when I was in need in my youthful years.
The friendship I have with her eldest daughter remains after nearly 30 years, and so it is with sadness and sorrow that I type out these words, empathizing with just how hard it would be to lay your dear Mom to rest. The amazing love of our Father in heaven is watching over her now. May His everlasting mercies bring comfort to all of Barbara's children, all of her dear friends and loved ones.
With love and condolences,
Valerie Fraser

I was blessed to have had Barbara in my life. She was my mentor. She had integrity, intelligence, and in her difficult role as General Manager of Recycler she treated everyone fairly and with respect. It is my loss that I did not stay in touch with her. Miss you BJ!

Dear Barbara, 
It's hard to believe we've known each other for 50 years! (I know this because you were 25 when we met and your obit says you were 75 when you left us to fly in the clouds above. ) For more than half of that time, we spent every day together working at the same companies. (Three companies) The time we spent together was more than a husband and wife would have! I think to say I 'knew' you is a very profound statement and can only be followed by how much I'm going to miss you. Granted,  I've had some time to get used to not sharing my daily routine with you because of our own personal life choices. That doesn't mean though, that you weren't always in my thoughts. I somehow continued to think one day we'll have our time together again.   I haven't liked having our friendship on hold but I was used to it by this time.
Just know one thing; you will always be in my heart, along with all the memories we've shared and the secrets we've kept. While you're up there having a gay old time I'll be down here missing you until it's my turn (I hope it's not soon!) and we see each other again. 
Love you, Barb!!
Sharon

Barbara, 

I will forever be grateful for all of the wonderful opportunities and life lessons you gave me when I worked as your assistant from 1989to 1994. 

You were a mentor, mother, and friend to me when I started out in LA all alone.  I would not be the person I am today without your influence, guidance, and patience. Lots of patience!

Rest in Peace sweet lady, you will be missed and forever in our hearts. 

Sending love and strength to your family and loved ones. 

Love, 
Shannon Rosenberg (aka Shannon Rowell)
