Very sorry to hear about the passing of your mum, Janet & Steve. I still have fond memories of going for swims in their lovely pool on Little John all those years ago. And she and Bernie were always gracious about us being there.
My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

My condolences to your family. I have met Barbara at my mother’s hairdressing shop (Dina’s Hairstyling). My mother Idle considered her not only her client but also a friend. I have had many conversations with Barbara and will remember her with fond memories.
Deepest Sympathies,
Luisa Mason

We are so sorry to hear about the passing of Barbara. Now she will know just how many needy people she warmed with the many beautiful blocks she knitted, that were made into blankets for the less fortunate in our community. I have missed our chats & her dry sense of humor, when we delivered yarn & picked up her blocks.
You will have a special place in heaven Barbara.
Our prayers are with you at this sad time.

My sincere condolences to the family at the loss of dear Barbara. I knew Barbara as an elegant and caring lady who always kept in touch over the years with myself and the late Dianne Mackenzie, who passed away last June. Our friendship was the result of a professional association she was a patient of the late Dr. L.W. Loopstra. I loved her her dry wit and humour, she was truly one of a kind. I regret not seeing her this past year, but I was aware she wasn’t well. Hopefully, she is at peace in a better place. God bless you all, she will be missed.
