Whenever you dine at the Mill Wharf Restaurant in Scituate be sure to order Barb's favorite dessert - the brownie ice cream sundae - with 2 spoons. She will probably find some way to join you.

We were so very sorry to hear of the passing of Babara. She was our friend for so many years while in Rockland. In those days in Rockland while working at the telephone switchboard office she did the job that the police dispatcher does today and always in a professional manner. Our prayers are with all of the family in this time of loss.

Barbara was so warm and funny. My brothers and sisters and I loved visiting your old house in Rockland during our Humarock vacations and having a long fun cook-out, with food from your garden. Barbara and Fran and Jeannie and Tom all joked and laughed with each other so much -- it was wonderful to be around. Barbara was consistently kind and welcoming. I'll miss her. Best wishes to all my cousins!
