Dear Pat and family, You are and have been in my prayers. You have my deepest sympathy. Let me know if I can be of any help. It feels so empty here in her neighborhood. I remember both of you when we grew up on Delaware Avenue. Neither of you changed; you were wonderful people then and have remained just as wonderful. You will continue to be in my prayers.

Barbie was a kind and generous person. She was thoughtful and caring, particularly related to her own dogs and my special furry kid, Dikan. Barbie always took the time to send us a card on Dikan's birthday and special gifts for the holidays. She will be missed by many. Pat and Jeff- our deepest sympathies to you both.

Dear Pat, I'm not sure if you remember me. I was School Nurse at Tower Hill School for many years and also a neighbor of Barbara and your Mom. I remember them both as kind, pleasant women. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time. Sincerely, Madalyn Schultz Petit
