Stacie, Todd and families, we were saddened to hear that Barbara had passed away.
We first met Barbara when she knocked on our door and said she was thinking of buying the place next door and what did we think of the area?  That was almost 16 years ago, when Kevin was a baby.  
Barbara moved in and became his “American” granny, as his blood grandparents were overseas. He loved going to ring Barbara’s bell to see if she was home and then we’d all go over to visit.  
Barbara was happy to babysit for us when the boys were young, and Jan-Carlo helped her when she had computer problems.
After our 2nd son, Joshua, was born we moved to a house, but we still kept in touch, visiting each other as much as we could.  She subbed a few times in Kevin and Joshua’s classrooms, and they would excitedly tell us when they got home from school on those days.
Barbara was an amazing person who touched many lives and was a special part of ours.  We miss you Barbara.  
With deepest sympathy,
Jan-Carlo, Gail, Kevin and Joshua

Dear Todd and Stacie,
Our world has lost a beautiful star.  Your Mother meant so much to so many people in Topeka.  She was a Mother, friend, teacher, get it done worker, mentor, adventurer and so funny.  Am very thankful our children introduced us so that we could become friends.  Barb loved Mark, Melissa and our Amanda as family.  I was selfish & did not want her to move, but knew she was right.  We talked thru the years and she always had stories about her Ca girls and was so proud of you 4.  She was so excited & called to tell me Todd was getting married and then was so very happy to have 2 more grands.  I pray that God brings you comfort. Love, Nancy

Barb Schulman was one of the best women I have ever known. Her strength, courage, adventurous spirit, generosity, humor, love.... I could go on and on. 

Our families came together in Topeka, KS during the 70's. My brother Mark and Barb's son Todd were best friends and that friendship extended to our entire family. Stacey and I were in Drill Team together at Topeka High School. Barb and our mother Nancy became wonderful friends. All the memories are overwhelming. All the memories are filled with love and light and laughter. 

We send our deepest sympathy and love to Todd & Stacey and their loved ones. 

Thank you Barb for being such a lovely part of our family. We love you and will miss your light. 

Peace and love, 
Melissa McCullough Weikel 
Topeka, Kansas
