Barb is well remembered and respected by me as a co-worker with Kodak and Danka. We helped each other out and had a lot of good times doing so. She is a true loss to those who knew and loved her.

I had the sincere pleasure of working with Barb over 26 years ago at Kodak as a CSR. I will always remember her as being such a professional class act. I pray for strength during this time of sorrow for the family. Janice DeBose Streeter

My thoughts and prayers are with Barb's family. I had the privilege of being one of Barb's customers for many years, and considered her a wonderful friend. She was truly a woman who was first class, and had a gift for making her customers feel at ease. Whenever we had to call Barb to help resolve an issue, we knew things would work out, because "everybody loves Barb!" I'll miss my long phone conversations with Barb; we laughed so hard during those calls I had wipe tears from my eyes when I hung up.

I remember meeting Barb when I first began working at Kodak in 1972. She had poise and grace and was very kind to me. May she rest in peace. My heartfelt sympathy goes to her family and friends who stayed by her side.

Barb was truly a "classy" lady, and I was glad to have had the opportunity to know her through our Kodak years. One really wanted to be around Barb and spend time with her. She was special to so many and will truly be missed. My sincere sympathy to her mom, brother, family and her very dear friends.

My first Kodak meeting in Milwaukee with Bob Latronica he talked about how important the job of Customer Support Representative was and explained how you were his right hand, his left hand and his brain in your accounts. He spoke fondly of how you handled United Airlines and made life for him simpler. He loved you. After we met, I understood why he felt as he did. I know you and Bob are together again and it's only fitting. You will be missed greatly by all who love you and those who never had the chance to be in your grace.

Barbara & I went back many years. We originally met while in high school & were reunited at Kodak. When I first met Barb, I was taken back by her beauty, but that wasn't all...She had the personality too! I feel blessed that such a beautiful person was in my life! Bill & Bernice, I send you my deepest sympathy. She will live in our hearts forever. May God bless you.

Barbara will be missed by so many she touched. It will not be the same without her, without her crazy sense of humor and wonderful laugh.
May God grant her peace after fighting so hard for so long.

I've had the privilege of knowing Barbara for many years. She was the best friend anyone could have asked for. I know she's sitting next to The Lord and making him laugh as she did for so many others. My heart goes out to her Mother, Bernice, and her Brother, Bill. Eternal rest grant unto her oh Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her.
