I'm so sad to know that I won't be able to see or visit Barb on the 3rd floor at the Inn anymore. My mom is on the 2nd floor. Pre-covid and for the last year, I used to go up and stop by to see how she was doing. I will never forget her cheerfulness, classiness, warm personality, sense of humor and optimism. I used to encourage my mom to go up there for activities because I knew she and Barb would be fast friends with their youthful personalities. Please know how much Barb made my day every time I saw her. I'll always remember her and will miss her. It won't be the same for me when they finally allow us to go back into the rooms and onto the different floors... because she won't be there. Thank you for sharing her with us. Love and support.

I have so many happy memories of Dick & my great times with Barbara & Dan. Barbara was an excellent baker & we shared lots of weekends in our Skaneateles boathouse & later home with them & their kids. Barbara always brought her "goodies". My condolences to her lovely family. Peggy Flah

Barbara and I became friends at our dining table at Menorah Park. After the meals were over, we found ourselves sharing stories about our own lives. One of our neighbors would hear us laughing a lot. I can honestly say we were close friends. She and I told each other we'd never shared these things about ourselves with other people. For the rest of my life, I will consider you my best friend for the remaining years I have.
