Kutchins-

I am truly sorry for your loss. Your mother / grandmother was a very fine woman. She greeted everyone with a smile and truly made a room light up. I wish her nothing but the best in her new life.

My condolences to the friends and family of Mrs. Barbra Kutchin. I had the great pleasure of knowing her and she was one of the finest people I have ever met. She treated me with respect and understanding. She loved life. The world was a better place because of her life. May she rest in peace.

Barbara Kutchin was full of life. She was devoted to family but remained very much the independent person. She was very genuine and giving and always had a sympathetic ear toward anyone's problems. Barb also knew how to have fun. I was lucky enough to know her and her sister, Gloria, in their prime. Both were vibrant; being around them infected you with their good spirit and zest for living. In particular, Barb had a deep throated laugh that would start as a chuckle and then rumble up into a full accoustic that let everyone know "I'm in love with life" Barb; I'm sorry your play is over but so very grateful I got to know you for a great run. You are forever a large part of fond memory for me. My sympathies to the family on the loss of a truly grand lady.
