I just came across Barbara's obituary while talking with a friend about the class we had with her in our Junior year at Edina HS. She was an excellent teacher, never negative or judgmental about our work and very encouraging. I am still friends with two girls that I met in her class. I credit her warm classroom manner with helping us develop our friendships. It was a very positive experience for us three being able to learn from her. Her sense of humor is still remembered fondly as well as her teaching techniques. My condolences to her partner Tom, her brother Donnie (who graduated with me) and all those relatives and friends who knew her better. Good teaching goes on forever and she was an excellent teacher.

With this strange state of home isolation, I have found myself with some time to dabble in one of my favorite past times...water color. Doing a study of garden blooms and my mind falls upon Barbara, who inspired the love of this medium, many years ago on a visit to MN. My cousin, visiting from Denmark, was a dear friend of Barbara's and we drove 7 hours to visit. I knew her Barb and Tom briefly, but her memory will always be there when I find the time to paint. She was a peaceful comforting soul, even to me a stranger in her home. She radiated the light, she used so well in her paintings along with respecting each detail of the wonders that present themselves in our wonderful world. She inspired me...... and helped me to find beauty everywhere, and if it hard to find... to look a little closer. TKNelson (IL) / Cousin: Anne Malmqvist / Nordsley (Helsingnor Danmark)

I am sorry to hear of Barbara's passing. I remember her as an outstanding art teacher in Edina. She was talented, well loved by her students and the staff who worked with her. I will always remember her smiling and positive nature with all she encountered. She was truly a gifted educator, person and friend to many in the Edina Public Schools. Her legacy lives on. I am sorry to miss the memorial service because I will be out of town. May her light continue to shine in your lives. Ken Dragseth, former superintendent of the Edina Public Schools and staff colleague.

Dear Tom, My neighbor Peggy told me about Barbara's passing. I am so sorry to hear this. She was a beautiful woman and yes, very talented. I had many interesting conversations with her and she was good company. Very caring but matter of fact. You were such a wonderful companion to her I know. I can still see you two strolling around Pamela Park just enjoying the beauty of nature and each other's company. It was a special bond that you shared. We have been gone for almost 8 years now. I think her Alzeimer's condition must have worsened after we left. It was hard to see her then not remembering alot. I hope that you can find peace in this most difficult time. I am sorry I won't be able to be up there to come to the gathering in honor of her life. Peace be with you. Mary and Jack Seaborne

So sorry to hear of Barbara's passing. She was a lovely woman with so much talent, that lives on through her many paintings. I remember visiting your home in Minneapolis one year on July 4th, 2000. She was so hospitable and fun. You could not have been a better caregiver Tom. She had the best in you. Much love to you at this time. Cousin Barbara
