I just read from Emma's post on FB of the passing of my favorite aunt Barbara. She was great, always supported me through my tough times growing up. I spent endless hours at their home on Robingrove. Even though I have not seen Aunt Barbara for a few years while living abroad I did get to spend a moment with her at a restaurant with my parents and Elliott. She had so much joy in her while dealing with her health conditions. I will miss you Aunty Barbara.

We were very sorry to hear of Barbara’s passing. We remember her well from living in the same condo complex and socializing with her. Barb was one of “the Maj ladies” as we were known in the condo. She was always so upbeat and full of energy. Let her Rest In Peace. May the family know no more sorrow.

To the Ber family. I had the pleasure of knowing Barbara for many years. We used to play cards together and even went away to Vegas together. Barbara was such an lovely and easy person to get along with. What I remember must about Barbara is how much she adored her two boys and her grandchildren. She will be truly missed.

Even though I did not know your mom, I am thinking we may be related. I am the daughter of Ben Ber who emigrated to Canada many years ago. We did not get to know the Ber family. I do remember my father’s sister. They have been gone for many years. I offer my condolences to you and family. Samieth Mintz

To the Ber family, so sorry for your loss. I worked at K&B in my university days and remember both Jack and Barbara quite fondly. She had the funniest sayings, my favorite being 'your taste is all in your mouth'!
