I´m so sad to hear that Bar is no longer with us. I worked with her at the Reserve Bank way back in the 90s and she was such a vibrant, beautiful woman, a real joy to be around. My sincere condolences to her family and friends, who must miss her dreadfully.

I am so sorry to hear this. She was such an amazing person at Teschemakers. One of the riding girls with me. Feeling very sad. She was one on my heroes

Our deepest condolences on your loss, Terry and family. I have such a happy memory of Barbara, as a vivacious and glamorous young newly-wed, baking biscuits for us in your Papanui house. Lots of love to you all,
Richard Hall and Vivienne Gray
