Remembering the good times with your Mom-playing cards, eating and some wine-especially having us make a friendship quilt with Peggy-a great life well lived. In my prayers.

Barb was delightful! Many good times with her…quilting, cards, great food and wine, always good laughter and fun. Still love and make her tortellini soup. We missed her so after she moved away from Madison. Condolences to the family.

Barb and I were best friends from 1969 when we worked together at Stern and Swingen until she moved to be closer to you sons. She was so talented in so many ways–outstanding cook , always willing to lend a hand, such fun to be with, best quilter ever. I have three quilts she made for me that are very precious to me and tangible reminders of Barb’s love. She was my mentor in so many ways. Sue, Tony and Joe, remember how close our families were when you were small children. We had so many good times together. I will love Barb forever for the wonderful friend she was to me. My deepest condolences to all of you.
