 I do aploogize for this delayed post.. I am very hearbroken with the passing of Barbara.. She was an amazing friend - my forever friend ..

Barbara was my childhood friend from kindergarten to OSU roommates. Barbara was my go-to neighborhood pal. We were inseparable attending art class at Cleveland Art Museum, ice skating at the Cleveland Arena, swimming at Cumberland Park or just leisurely "hanging out" at our respective houses. She lived only one street over on Altamont Rd while I lived on DeSota Rd.  

 I was so happy when she found her soulmate in tenth grade with our classmate Jeffery Gross. They were inseparable- a beautiful life together with passion and compassion for each other and their four children and eighteen grandchildren. 

She was an amazing seamstress for herself as well as for her Orthodox Jewish community with her mitzvah to provide the wedding dresses for prospective brides with style and glitz!! 

I am so thankful for being able to see and talk to her recently as we were still in neighboring suburbs. She always greeted me with her bright smile and recognition of love in her heart.

Barbara was stunningly beautiful on the outside with an nspirational soul on the inside. I will always cherish our enduring bond of friendship.

With heartfelt sympathies to her devoted husband Jeffrey and her family.
