Our parents were friends before I was born. I remember the winters on the rink at Nephton & the vists to Kashabog Lake. Your mother always made me feel welcome. She will be missed by many.

I always remember Moui laughing.  Laughing laughing.

She will be missed.

May I offer my most heartfelt sympathy to Barbara's family. I learned only today that your mother had passed away. Your mother was generous of her support and time, especially when our little WAMIC craft group would meet. As well, she was keenly interested in the Ontario Crafts Counsel. She was a kind and gentle lady, and I will miss her very much.

I am so sorry to hear of your Mum's passing. We had so many great times on Indian Point and she was always so welcoming.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Pat Northey

Dear Cotton,

We send our deepest sympathy to Barbara's family. She was a wonderful lady and will be missed by so many. My Mom loved to visit with her on the phone over the many years our families were connected.

Dear Cotton and family,
We only knew your mom for a short time but we could tell that she was a wonderful lady.  Heartfelt sympathies from all of us.
Your neighbors Steve, Roxanne, Alex and Samuel Parsons

The Warren family have so many fun and lovely memories of times spent at your cottage at Balsam Lake. Your mom and dad had so much patience when it came to congregating around the piano singing our hearts out. And I know "you parents" had some pretty fun times too! 
Our thoughts are with you...love to you all,
Eileen, Karen, John and Susan

Barbara was an incredible lady. She was a steadfast supporter of Ontario's craft community. As Executive Director of the Ontario Crafts Council I got to know Barbara very well, I cherished our lunches at her home and I will miss her as a friend.

My deepest sympathies to you all.  I have so many wonderful memories of your mother at Indian Point.  What an amazing life to be celebrated.

The passing of my long time friend Barbara leaves me with a very sad heart. I will miss her very much. Deepest sympathy to all her family. Sincerely, Ila Deneau and family

We were recipients of the Ontario Crafts Council's John Mather Award in 2011 and met Barbara at the Award ceremony. We have long known of her contributions to and support of craft and craftsmen in Ontario and I think can speak for all Ontario craftsmen, in thanking her and her family. With sincerest sympathy,
Sandra Noble Goss & Andrew Goss.

Thinking of Barbara brings back great memories of life on Brian Cliff as we were all growing up.  Greeted at the door with Barb and the dog bearing the gift of a shoe, Saturday night bowling parties with the neighbours on the street and impromptu lunches with the other kids in the neighbourhood.  She was and is one of the best!  She was loved by all for good reason!  Our thoughts are with all you.
