You are a talented and gifted writer. I am happy that I had the opportunity to meet you this past summer. Your words are so honest and warm and descriptive of the magnificent person that she was. I for one will miss her with all of my heart.

Thanks for taking on the daunting task of writing this last point. Between this and Lauren's obit, many of us may find some small glimmer of peace, if that is even possible. Great tribute to a great and dear friend to so many. I will miss her smile and sense for adventure and life. RIP, dear Barb.

Your talent for writing will help many of us say our goodbye. Thank you for those words Barbara, they're crafted perfectly in this moment. Just a beautiful tribute to our Barb.

Beautiful tribute!!

A beautiful tribute to Barb. May her memory be a blessing.

That was beautiful and so true. Thank you for writing and sharing.
