Barbara was one of a kind and a patient that I will never forget. She fought hard and always with a smile and her make up done. I suppose that we will have to postpone our planned lunch date. It was my pleasure to be her nurse in her last weeks of her life. May she Rest In Peace and blessings to her family as you all move forward.

My husband, Brian Richmond and I live down the hall from Barbara 's place in Toronto. We only found out definitely about her passing this week, although we had suspected. We agreed with her on a lot of community issues. She was sweet, amusing and intelligent. For some time, particularly since she vacated her unit, whenever I go to the elevator, I see her door and think of her. We were not close but she made a strong and positive impression. I can see her smiling face.
Our condolences to the family. We miss her. She is remembered.

Spring will be a little late this year
A little late arriving in my lonely world over here
For you have left me and where is our April of old?
You have left me and winter continues cold
As if to say spring will be a little slow to start
A little slow reviving that music it made in my heart
Yes, time heals all things so I needn't cling to this fear
It's merely that spring will be a little late this year
Spring will be a little late this year
A little slow reviving that music it made in my heart
Yes, time heals all things so I needn't cling to this fear
It's merely that spring will be a little late, a little late this year
Sarah Vaughan
Barbie knew what a Sarah Vaughan fan I was, and especially as I got older, she sat patiently through her music with me. When I met my wife Annie and I disclosed things like "I come with 3 grown sons, etc., Annie said "I have a Barbie". And so she did, and so they did, have a friendship that was like nothing I had ever seen between two women. Our sons grew up with their "blood Aunts" and their Auntie Barbie. And since I'm approaching 88, chances are I'll see you next -- save me a seat. We loved you, we love you, you left us better than you found us. Love, Steve (Willkey)

So many memories of a 50-year friendship. Barbara and I were so lucky to never let the miles interfere with our friendship over the years. I am so grateful to have had so many shared experiences. From the early days of living together in NYC to visits in Colorado and Canada- to long-distance phone calls that morphed into Facetime. I will miss you, my friend - until we meet again, go in Peace.

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone. Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone. Silence the pianos and with muffled drum, Bring out the coffin... let the mourners come. Let the aeroplanes circle, moaning overhead, Scribbling on the sky the message: She is Dead. Put crepe bows 'round the white necks of the public doves, Let traffic policemen wear black, cotton gloves. The stars are not wanted now, put out every one. Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun. Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood, For nothing now can ever come to any good.

"Barbie" was my best friend of 50 years, my person. I shared this 3-way friendship with my sister Judy who first introduced us in NYC, circa 1970. We may not have grown up together like family does, but we came of age together and shared everything, everyday. She was the smartest, wisest, funniest person I knew. My husband and children joked about having a situation when she could only save one of them, and who it would be. She called my husband her "rent-a-husband". We never needed marriage counselling because we always agreed to whatever Barbie said. She was better than any therapist or mediator. Even when I disagreed with her, I knew she was right. She apologized when she was wrong. My children called her "Auntie Barbie" and she treated them as such. She was fiercely politically opinionated and not quiet about it. Look at her just days before she died, in the hospital, full makeup . . . her mind was strong until the end.
