My deepest sympathy for the Colagiovanni family. Barb was one of the sweetest, kind, loving and strong-willed woman I have ever met. She was not just my friend.. but my inspiration, my little "go-getter." I always told her how amazed I was with her and the volunteering she did.. she gave me hope that someday I can face my anxieties too and do something that I can enjoy while helping others at the same time. I'm going to miss Barb sitting daily at the pool reading a book. She loved reading. Coming down for my mail on the elevator seeing her walk the halls, or walking inside from outside standing there, looking out the window and seeing Barb walking down the sidewalk in one of her cute, bright outfits (she was always so fashionable and I never seen her in the same outfit..I LOVED her trendy clothes!).. to seeing Barb's warm smile at the meetings our apartments held to me just giving her a hug. My heart is grieving but will forever hold a huge part of memories and love in it for my dear my friend. She was taken too soon from our world, but God needed her home. He missed her. She will forever be around us. When we are quiet, just listen, you will hear her, she will talk to you through your heart. Barb loved us all. She recently told me she wanted to go back to Hawaii again. Barb is smiling down at us in her land of paradise.. heaven and Hawaii. You are greatly missed Barb and I will see you again. I love you ❤️
