Barb and I were cousins.  Our families were very close when we were growing up to the point that we were more like brothers and sisters than cousins.  Barb's wit and sense of humor are my fondest memory.

Born four months apart, we were truly kissing cousins.  Treasurd memories abound from our early years in St. Louis...the US Admiral Boat;Forest Park Highlands; KiddieLand; singing show tunes in front of the mirror; penny candy at the corner store; shared Thanksgivings and Christmases on Magnolia Ave., and Rainbow Drive.  Our paths may have diverged but my love for my cousin Barb remained intact and always will.
You were loved.

Barb and i had been friends for over ten years.  We shared many laughs with Inez and Janet (Lee) Olfe.  Barb and I shared many a laugh and good times.  I will always remember her.  You have a lot of acqaintances in your life, but few good friends.  I will miss you so much.

I worked with Barb at Sedgwick.  She was a wonderful and friendly person.  I will always remember her fondly.  She was a great person.

We only actually saw Barbara in person about 6 times, but we feel a deep personal loss at her departing.  We remember her as a very well informed and fun-loving Sherlockian, and we will miss her.

I don't remember when I first met Barb, but I know it was at a Sherlockian gathering.  Over the years we worked on quite a few projects together, including two “Holmes Under the Arch” symposiums in the late 1990's, affectionately known as “HUTA”. 

During the past year, she joined me and two other ladies in in starting Mid-Day Detectives, a literary lunch group for women who enjoy “civilized” crime mysteries in the Sherlockian tradition.  Other than an occasional reference to her illness, she never talked about being sick and certainly never complained.  We all looked forward to her wit and incite, not only about the nefarious happenings in the stories, but about life in general.  

Barb was a very funny, creative, intelligent and supportive friend for over twenty years.  I will miss her.
