We met Barb through SDT. She was always so amazingly strong and upbeat. There was always a smile on her face and never a complaint. What a truly special person. We are so very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Marc,

We were very saddened to hear of Bar's passing. From the first day's I met Barb on the train to work to her last days Barb always had a spirit about her that was indescribable. I'm glad that we ended up living near each other and being fellow congregants at Bnai Tikvah. Her loss is a loss for us all.God bless you and your entire family.

Dear Mr. Goldberg, Jessica, and Aliza, My heartfelt condolences to you and your family. I was deeply saddened to hear of Barb's passing. Barb was an amazing woman and I always looked forward to seeing her at Dr. Mellovitz's office. The last time she came in we were discussing how long I've worked there and how she watched me "grow up". I will miss her terribly. She is and always will be an inspiration to me. She was truly beautiful inside and out. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
