    I was so sorry to read about Barbara in the paper. I had known she was sick but was hoping she would get better.

    Barbara and her family were our neighbors when Michael was young.We enjoyed Barbara’s smile and wit.

    Michael – Christine and Steve send their sympathy also.

    Barbara was a pleasure to work with at the Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. She always had a smile and a kind word for each person she met in the Library. And her support of our students enriched their lives. Our pleasant memories of her will help us deal with the loss and our prayers go out to family and friends.

    I first met Barbara my Freshman year at Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. I held a work study position at the library up until my last year of classes. Barbara always found a way to make me smile and encourage me. She would keep telling me to keep smiling and after each semester passed, Barbara would say “you are getting closer and closer to graduation!”. Barbara was strong willed and I will surely miss such a wonderful person. My condolences to the family and friends of Barbara Wood.
