Sending love from Ottawa to the McCafferys and to Barbara. She did so much good in the world.
Sending condolences to the Kowalik and McCaffery families from the Sobota Family.
It has been 3 difficult years for the McCaffery and Kowalik families. My thoughts and prayers to the families especially Ryan, Matt and Patrick and their families. For Tom and Barb may they be at peace and together again.
Our sincere and deepest condolences to the McCaffery family for the lost of their beloved mother. May the love, memories and joy Barbara brought be a comfort and bring a smile to their faces when remembering her.
I am so sad to hear about my mentor and friend Barb.
I regret not keeping my last promise to her.
My sincere condolences, prayers and love to her family. Her “boys” were everything to her.
Love❤️Lorraine Faiella
Barb was a kind, generous friend and co-worker. I am thinking of you all, sending peace and love at this very difficult time.
Thank you, Barb, for always treating me with such kindness. I will always remember how you and Tom drove all the way to Montreal when I had just arrived in Canada — that meant so much to me. You were always thoughtful, checking on me and even on my family back home in the Philippines. You were truly a big sister to both my husband and me.
Rest now and be at peace with our Lord. We love you. 🤍🙏
