I had the TRUE pleasure of knowing Barbara - and I was proud to call her a friend. She was kind, calm, funny, thoughtful, and so passionate about leaving an indelible and positive mark wherever she went. But, what I will remember most about Barbara is her true care, compassion, and concern for PEOPLE. Her son, her family, her work team, and anyone she encountered are better for knowing her. She will be truly missed. I am sending my deepest condolences to Marc and her family at this terribly difficult time. Rest in peace, Barbara. Most sincerely, Chrissy 

Rest in peace, Aunt Barb.  I will remember you as the most independent, strong,  and hard working woman I know.  You also loved your son more than anything in the world and you were a wonderful mother. ❤️❤️ Thank you for being there for us when Liam was in the hospital.  We will miss you!! The medical field lost one of the greatest.  ❤️❤️❤️
Love,
Michele, Kris, Liam, & Maddy
