I so enjoyed the times that I spent with Barbara during Emmaus. She was such a pleasure to work with. I know she will be so missed by her family and friends. It was a true blessing to know her.\r\nDe Clores, Carol Ramsden

When you think back over a 40 year career in pastoral ministry many faces and names and stories come back to mind. None stand out more than Barbara and Sherwood Cooper. their sons and daughter.\r\nJust yesterday (Saturday April 25th) I was making coleslaw and I remembered how Barbara taught me not to include the cabbage core in order to make the salad sweeter. They (the whole family) made our lives on the North Fork more memorable and more joyous. Thank you all for fond taimes together!\r\nWarren, Carol, Lara and Tjark

Growing up, it was clear to me that Barbara and Sherwood were special people, and they were such terrific friends to my parents. Barbara was very special to my mom, and I will always appreciate the friendship she had with my mom. You will be missed, Barbara. Thanks for brightening my mom’s life with your care, friendship, and wisdom.
