Dear Lou & family:
Growing up on North Parade Barb became my neighbor, friend, sister. playmate & confidant sharing our mutual experiences, of family & hijinks growing up with our gang. Heartfelt memories remain as we went our respective journeys in life. I never felt anything but love in Barb’s presence. Her assignment now complete, answered the Lord’s call to return home. Faith guarantees we will all be reunited at the: Lord’s table. What a joyful celebration that will be! Shalom!
So sorry for your loss. Barbara was my Dad’ neighbor on North Parade.
May you rest in peace Mrs Borkowski you’ve raised a wonderful family.. our deepest condolences to Gary & Jen & the rest of the Borkowski Family..

So sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.
So sorry for your loss. Barbara, Sally Bitker and I had some wonderful fun times together when Sally came to town. Sincerely, Karen May
LouAnn and family, my thoughts are with all of you right now. It sounds like there are many happy memories that will lift you up with a smile in the months and years to come! <3
The past year was not an easy journey but if I had to , I would doit all over again. Particular thanks should go to Hospice team 4 who came daily to help take care of Barb with much love and care. They showed me how to get through the hard times and were always there to help as best they could. They are Angels.
I’m so sad to hear about Barb’s passing. I was Barb and Louie’s neighbor; it was wonderful for me (12 yrs old) to have a young, fun couple next door. I babysat their children for many years. After I moved, I would always stop to see them each year when I visited Buffalo.
Barb’s humor was delightful; I cherish my memories of her. RIP Barb💔🙏
Condolences to Lou and family. I remember enjoying yours and Barbra’s hospitality at your home and pool back in the ’70’s. I don’t remember if Barbara made Ray M. clean out your microwave after he nuked an egg.
