Dearest Robert, Joey, Mark, Benji and the entire family. ברוך דיין האמת. Such sad news to hear. We have been family friends for over 42 years and many of your son's were in the same classes as our children. So many fond memories of spending chaggim and Shabbos meals together. Barbara will be sorely missed in Chicago and Israel. המקום ינחם אתכם בתוך שאר אבלי ציון וירושלים!!!!

Your mother was always so warm and friendly when I would see her. Didn’t matter how much time had past you always felt her care and interest. You walked away feeling better after you saw her. I am truly sorry for the loss of your mother.

My dear Joey,

Lyn and I are very sad to hear about the death of your beloved mother. Mothers are given to each person to enjoy and learn from their presence for many years and as it happens to each one of us then they are gone from this earth. I know how sad you must feel over this great loss.
While I only met Barbara for a few minutes, I have spent much time with you. As I know that you are a very fine and special person, your mother must have been an incredible person to raise a son like you.

We send you and Stephanie all our love and a prayer that your mother continues to live in your heart forever.

We love you both and your family as well

Lyn and Gary

Dear Robert and family, we are so saddened to hear of Barbara’s passing. Barbara and I knew each other from high school days and Mark and my son went to school together. Barbara always had a smile and warm hello whenever we saw each other. Phil and I send our sincerest condolences to all of you. May your treasured memories sustain you in this most difficult time, Linda and Phil Simons

Dear Kandelman family,

My first memory of Barbara was when she was a cheerleader at Sullivan High School with her beautiful smile and enthusiasm. Fast forward to carpooling for Torah tots with our sons, Mark and Zach. Watching our sons play ball on the JCC league and just ambling around West Rogers Park. Barbara always had a glowing smile and kind words for all.

She is already sorely missed and will continue to be.

Wishing you all comfort from the good memories . . May you be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem and may her memory be for a blessing.
