I was so distressed when I heard of Barbara's passing, that I forgot to say how sorry I was for her family. She spoke of having such a close and loving family that I know how difficult this time is for you. I don't know that I will ever adjust to not having her to speak to, to laugh with, and to discuss and cry over serious issues, but please know that she was such a close friend, she will be impossible to replace. We had talked about always wanting sisters, and that we would be sisters for each other. I wanted you to know that her kindness, intelligence, and sensitivity touched many.

Lindsey Novak left a message on December 17, 2016:
For the many people who knew Barbara socially as an adult or as part of her childhood, I want to share who Barbara was at heart. She was as kind and as good as a person could be. She welcomed conversation from all, and lived life with a generosity many never experience. She knew people are connected, regardless of their birthright, their past, their internal and external situations - she showed respect to the homeless as well as the wealthy and educated. She accepted all people regardless of race, religion, nationality, disability - she was a role model for Title VII, treating people equally. She had, to use the adage, a heart of gold, which she gave to all. We spoke daily about everything - life, values, humane treatment of all. She was thoughtful about subjects that many never contemplate. This is the wonderful Barbara that I hope all were able to see, for her life was cut short. Our conversations are etched in my memory, and although I will miss her warm and wonderful disposition, I know that she is in the highest of places - with God shining His light on her forever.

Dear Andy, Oma, Roy and Perry,

To say I am at a loss for words is an understatement. I have so many fond memories of spending time with Barbara in high school. Wherever she was fun always followed. Thinking of each of you and praying for you as you grieve Barbara's loss. May God grant you His peace, the peace that passes beyond all understanding,as you move forward.

Dear Mrs. Seaman, Roy, Perry and Andrew:

It is most difficult to find the words, I am just so very sorry for your loss.

My brother Andrew informed me today of Barbara's passing. Instantly memories of Barbara and I playing and swimming came rushing back. Fate may have taken us down different paths but I have cherished my memories of sweet Barbara and all the wonderful times we had together.

If I could take your sadness and grief away I would. Please find comfort in the knowledge Barbara is now at peace with our Lord forevermore.

God bless you Barbara.

I'm at a loss for adequate words to express how deeply sorry I am to hear of Barbara's passing. Memories of time spent with her go back to early school days at Immaculate Conception. She was truly as beautiful a person on the inside as she was on the outside...the world was a warmer, more welcoming place because she was part of it. I pray that there is some measure of comfort for her family, in knowing how many people loved her. God bless you all in the difficult days ahead. Dana Wiseman Reese
