Andy, Laura, Richard and to your children,
I am in shock at the loss of Barbara, we spoke every week twice a week as I prepared to take Andy to NSSRA programs every Monday and Wednesday. We talked of many things over the years, and I always enjoyed our weekly conversations. We spoke about our families and I know how much she enjoyed being in New York to see the grandchildren.
She always took the time to ask me about how my family was doing and any of our plans.
I will miss her, I will continue to support Andy in any way I can.
My deepest condolenses,
Carla Lieberman
(NSSRA Program Leader)

The loss of Barbara saddens all who knew her. We were classmates at Francis Parker where she was much loved and admired. My sympathies to her family and friends.

Hi Laura and Andrew: Maybe you will remember me: I was a sorority sister of Barbara's at NU. The last time I saw you was in Greencastle. I am just stunned by the news of your mom's death. Linda Jones Mathews just left me a phone message and I will pass this along to others. She was one of the loveliest women I have ever met. I wish I could be there to be with you, but I do send love and a prayer for you both
