Barbara Houston

Barbara, I am going to miss you so much. I looked forward to meeting you and challenging you every week, and listening to your motherly advice. I don't anyone who could talk so much while lifting weights! It's been an honor to know you. I will miss you. Jon

Barbie, I have been missing you since college, but now it's so much deeper. I can't believe you are gone. Even thousands of miles away, I've always felt the world is a better place because you are in it. It's a sad sad day for the world. Will always love you, Val

Barbara - To me you've always been the most beautiful woman on earth - inside and out. The world is a little darker without that radiant smile and beaming love of yours. I'll miss you forever. Love Kevin

I just can't believe you are gone. You've been such a part of our lives. All those wonderful summers at the cottage, beating the pants off Bob at backgammon, and drinking G&T till the cows came home. I've never laugher (or cried) with anyone as much as you. Losing you is like losing a part of myself. I love you, Sue

Barbara, you are a great lady. My whole family will miss you, and we promise to check in on your family and keep finding ways to make them smile! love Josh

Thanks for being my second mom! Feeding me all those great meals while I crammed for exams, letting me crash with you guys whenever I wanted, and helping me sort out my life. You are the best lady ever! Edgar

I truly thought you would beat this. I'm still in shock. I'm sorry I couldn't be at the memorial, but you are in our hearts forever. Love Beth

Thank God I got the recipe for Barbara's Brownies. It's not the same as having you here, but we'll not only have a piece of you in our hearts but in our tummies! We'll toast you with hot chocolate - with marshmellows - just the way you'd like it. Goodbye dear friend! Thank you for teaching me that "Too much of a good thing is wonderful!" You were right!

I will miss you more than you can even imagine. You've been a wonderful friend and a great mentor. Love Marion

Barb, We are so sorry that you're gone. It's affected our whole family so deeply. And our hearts go out to all your family. Love Jasmine, Jessica, Samuel and Elijah
