    Rest in Peace Barbara. This is such sad news. I’m so sorry we were cousins and never met. After your trip to Villavallelonga, my husband and I are going this Sept. We are both cousins of Elia. I always loved the pics of your dogs you posted and the beautiful photos of Lake Ontario. I hope you rest eternally.

    Oh Barb, our funny, crazy friend. From the moment we met on our first trip to Italy we created a special friendship. We will always cherish our memories, so many laughs. You were one on a million, salute 🍷

    My deepest sympathies to Barb’s family. I’m so very, very sorry for your loss. I know how close you all are and the sadness you all are feeling must be unfathomable and heart-wrenching. My heart aches for all of you. Donna, you and your family will all be in my prayers that God will be with you at this very difficult time.

    Barb … I’m so sorry we didn’t get to re-connect after I moved back to Rochester. I was so looking forward to seeing you in 2020. I will always remember the fun times and mischief we got into at good old Naz. I still think all the nuns yelled, “Amen, we are finally rid of them” when we graduated! R.I.P. my friend.
    Love you, “Chicken” ❤️

    We shared a ton of good times. A ton .Tom and I are saddened by your passing.

    This existence of ours is as transient as autumn Cloudss. To watch the birth and death of beings is like a dance. A life is like a flash of lightning in the sky,Rushing by like a torrent down a steep mountain.
