I feel truly blessed to have known Barbara and had her in my life. She has been such a constant true role model of kindness, grace & joy and always on for a contagious giggle in the best possible way. . I will always remember this! This and how her beautiful presence brightened and lit up the room. Thankyou Barabara & Geoff for being two absolute pillars of love and strength. I love you and am so thankful to you both. Alice.

Dear Geoff and family, We were saddened to hear the news of Barbara's passing. She was a wonderful neighbour for all those years and a true friend. You are all no doubt incredibly proud of the life that she lived. Our thoughts are with you at this sad time. The Dowman Family xx

I am so sad to to lose my lifelong friend. We spent our first 18 years together and no matter how long between contacts, and sometimes it was years, we were always able to pick up the phone and talk to one another as if we had been speaking the day before. Vale my dear friend and we will meet again one day. Until then love always - Lexie
