Barb will be missed by anyone who had the opportunity to spend time with her. My condolences to Jaime, Laurie and the rest of Barb’s family.
Barb was a dear friend and dedicated coworker. She was so proud to tell stories about her daughters and loved to humor me with tales of Jaime’s cat. She is truly missed and will always be remembered. My sincere condolences to Jaime, Laurie, and the family.
I didn’t know Barb very well, but she was my neighbor. We became better acquainted after I helped with shovelling for her this past winter. Always waved hello and kept me up to date with our rotating trash schedule (we are on the same day) which may seem like nothing but I did enjoy any reason to talk with Barb. She was always kind to me and my kids. I’ll miss her presence in our neighborhood. My deep condolences to all the family.
Jaime – I am so sorry for your loss! I am praying for you. The way you talked about your mom showed just how special she was. Sending soooo much love to you!
Our deepest condolences – I know your mom meant so much to you…. to the point where you ditched your Boston peeps and moved to the “southern part of Canada” LOL – I’m so glad you got to be close and hang out with her for so many years, so I guess… I forgive you 😉 All the love from the Hartmann Family
