A candle has been lit!

I have fond memories of Barbara! She was a special lady! Prayers for all of you to find peace and comfort during this difficult time!

So sorry to hear of her loss. I knew and adored her mother. Barbara was also my accounting professor in college, I was a terrible student but she was a fabulous teacher:)

We knew Barbara through Susan’s stories and updates. The deep bond they (and the entire Rundbaken family) shared was always so evident and the loss must be tremendously difficult. We are keeping your family in our thoughts and close to our hearts.

Words seem inadequate in describing Barbara. Her dedication and passion in pursuing growth and accomplishments was both inspiring and a little frightening. She was very caring for her friends, the most devoted wife and Mom I ever knew and admirable in her devotion to living a meaningful life. We who were blessed to be her friend have suffered a painful loss and retain a significant memory of a very special lady.

Sympathy to Sol, Susan and Phil, Michael and Ildako, and Joey on your great loss and prayers that your good memories will help ease your pain. Know that Barbara's friends share your loss. Barbara and I have been friends since the summer of 1951 when my parents bought the house across the street from her on 48th Street. I remember thinking that I had hit the friend jackpot...that I had a friend..the best friend ever..right across the street...of standing at her back door while she did the dishes..of singing popular songs with my off key voice trying to mesh with Barbara's beautiful one...of reading comics while lounging in our wash tub "pools"...of sharing crinolines, clothes...and even one boy! (Of course, it was Barbara who passed him down to me!). Later, we would share books opinions, and information. School and marriage kept us apart until we both moved back to Savannah and our husbands became friends too. Then there were our"mommy" days! We picnicked in the park and had play dates at our homes. We worried about our children and shared their achievements. With the Merchens and Peltiers we formed the best Gourmet Club ever! We rejoiced in weddings of our children and the joy of being grandparents and comforted each other through illnesses and loss of friends and family. We could not see each other for a few months and still pick up where we left off. Barbara was the most positive person I ever met. She made lemonade out of any lemon that was thrown at her...even this last illness. Carl Jung said, "I am not what happened to me; I am what I chose to become." Barbara always chose well.

What a sad loss for so many of us who called her friend. I met Barbara when she came on as a Board member of the Rape Crisis Center where I was Director. She was such a positive force that she stayed on for two terms - serving as Treasurer and then as President. When she left the Board she took me to lunch and said " I may not be on your Board but I am still going to be your friend." And what a wonderful, dependable friend she was! Her laughter was infectious and her positive attitude helped me through some tough times. Taking a walk with her was a healing experience and I will always miss those healing walks and invigorating talks. Sending much love to the family and friends. Mary
