Dear Family,
I was so sorry to here the sad and shocking news. I will miss Barbara as will all of us here at Draper'. we were in the same group for years and years. Our offices are just a few feet away. I will miss hearing her chuckles through the day and the candy dish on her desk. Here friendship and expertise will be sorely missed.

My sympathy goes out to all her friends and family.
There was no one better than Barbara. Truly a kind and caring person. She was always helpful and cheerful. I will miss her and her beautiful smile.
God wanted the best and He called her. May she be peaceful in His arms.
Your friend and colleague, Jacky B
I was a member for many years of the group(s) for which Barbara served as Secretary. She was an exceptional person: gracious, friendly, and supportive. She always greeted us with a pleasant smile, and she always offered to help as needed. Thank you Barbara. Best wishes to your family and to your family and to your many friends. Al
I had the joy of working with Barbara at Draper Laboratory. She was one of the people with whom I first interacted as I tried to find my way around as a new Program Manager coming from a completely different company. Barbara was always a delight to work with; we shared a joy of cute cat and kitten photos which always brought a smile when I had cause to stop by her office. I/we were all shocked and dismayed to learn of her passing, but hope that the past week on her vacation in Aruba was as much a joy to her as she was a joy to our organization. Thank you Barbara and family for having Barbara in our lives. She will be very much missed.
Oh sweet Barbara: Farewell my oldest and dearest friend - you will be sorely missed. My deepest sympathies to the Johnson and Benson families. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank someone I have not had the opportunity to meet, Mr. Jim Feely, who helped make Barbara's last months on this planet such happy ones. She was thrilled to have spent time with you and was so happy about her trip to Aruba. I love you Barbara and will always have you in my heart.
We will miss you dearly. You were the most optimistic and happy person we knew. Thank you so much for being such a caring and loving person to my brother. It wasn't easy for you. So glad you had some joy and happiness in your last months you so derserved it. Love you.
I will miss Barbara's cheerful presence at Draper. I admired her dedication to helping others...her quiet work in human services. Years ago she volunteered for Temporary Care Services which provided trained adult volunteers to administer to the needs of disabled children so their parents could get out for their own appointments. How sad that she has passed.
