Although you were sadly taken without warning, there was never anything unsaid. You have not only left your impression upon me and your grand daughter, but the rest of the world as well. I love you very much mom, rest in peace
Jill & Family,
Our sincerest condolences to you all. May you have nothing but the best memories of your Mom, and continue to carry on and celebrate her life.
Love,

We were so sorry to hear about your mom. Remember all the good times you shared with her and know she’ll be with you in your heart and memories always. Take care.
Your memory will forever live on in the hearts of your children, grandchildren, and those who have had the pleasure of being touched by your presence. You were a strong woman with a very soft and genuine heart. This is a trait that I see everyday in my daughter. May you rest in peace with the love of your life.
Lynn, Brett and Jill-
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. As time eases your grief, may beautiful memories restore the joy that has been taken from your hearts. Your friends are always here for you!
We were so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing.I will miss our long chats about our “perfect” children.We are holding you all close to our hearts as you go throght this sad time.Please accept our love and sincere sympathy.
Thanks for all the great memories we have. Barb was our local mother, we always were invited and usually attended Thanksgiving, Xmas Dinner, Block parties, 4th of July and we never had to sit at the kids table! Thanks for always making us feel like part of the family it meant and still means a great deal to us. Barb and Rich will be missed dearly and the world is less of a place without them.
Mom, you left us so suddenly. You were a great mother and grandma, always so generous and kind. I miss you and dad so much. We will always love our sweet mother.
I am sorry Brett, I know you recently lost your dad. He will be there to greet your mother and show her how to use her wings!
Love you Barbara, miss you. Thank you for showing me a living breathing reality of a parent who smiles and laughs often. You in my mind always smile, thank you for that inspiration and legacy. Give my love to Richard <3. Big hugs to Lynn, Brett, Jill and Scott my heart's sistas and brothas from the best mother.
Peace and love, mon
We are so sorry to hear about your mom. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of her family. Remember all the beautiful memories you have of her at this difficult time.
Dear Rrett,
My prayers are with you and your family at this time of the passing of your mother. There is no love in this world as the love of a mother. We are only given one. The reason for this is that it’s so special for us to share the warmth and love that comes from them. Plus God could not be every where so you had her to hold you when things did go right, you had her to comfort you when you thought your heart was broken and most of all you had her as your mother. You will miss her greatly, but soon we will all be reunited with our love one.
PS
Keep the Faith.
Brett
There is nothing I can do or say, To make this any less painful. Just know that I’m here, And that I’m thinking of you.
Our condolences to all of Barbara’s children and grandchildren. We met you and Rich in 1972 when we moved to your cul-de-sac in Orange where we had many, many visits together. When you moved to Kansas, we truly missed you but we still had phone conversations regularly. We will miss those visits. We loved you dearly. God bless you and your family. Love, Micki & Don
Hi Brett and Family,
I am so very sorry to hear about you Mother’s passing. My warmest thoughts and prayers are with you all. Mom’s are such a blessing and always keep the kindest thoughts and words ready for you when you need them.
My deepest condolences are with you during this time.

Praying for you and your family, Brett.
I am so sorry to hear about her passing but I will always appreciate how she and your family treated us as part of the family.
It takes a special person to have such a big heart. She will be missed but never forgotten.
We are so sorry to hear of Barb’s passing. She was so funny as was Rich. These two folks will always be remembered by Larry and I all our lives. Every time we go by the last place
Rich lived, we look at each other and just say, “Rich”. We miss him so. SNICKERS!! God bless you all.
We will miss Barb as we have missed Rich.
We had so many joyful times with them.
Our Alaska trip was a dream trip. Barb was in pain but she still went along with everything, smiling and laughing.
For years we played cards whenever
there was time. Girls always won.
We hope Barb and Rich are dancing in heaven. Our love to all of you.
Brett, Jill, Lynn, Scott,
You chose a wonderful picture here for your Mom. It takes me right back to having coffee in your driveway after dinner watching all you kids play until dark. We have many many happy memories of all of you. Ed and I hope that all of you, through your sadness, can remember the happiness that your Mom shared with all of you and all of us
on Roberta Drive.
Dear Reineck Family
My words cannot adequately express the
deep and heartfelt sympathy this
message brings to your family. Both
Barbara and Richard were good friends to me and in all the time I was around them I never ever heard Barbara complain about anything. She was very proud to show me pictures of children and grand-children. She loved you all and the love will always remain. My deepest sympathy.
I am so sorry to read of your mother’s death. Bob and I took to dialysis last year and enjoyed getting to know her. We enjoyed talking about California especially Orange county. My prayers are with you.
Dear Scott, Jill, Brett, Lynn and Family
What a beautiful picture of your mom. I have been remembering all our good times we had together on Roberta Dr. We all are blessed to have celebrated so many wonderful times together. I talked to your mom right after she got her dog and we shared many fun stories. Her suffering is over and she is with your dad and at peace.
I am sure they are joking and having fun with Don.
My prayers and blessings are with all of your and I look forward to seeing you in March.
Love Theresa and Family
Thinking of you all, especially Brett&Alexis, There is nothing that quite takes place of a mother and grandmother, and Meeting Barb was a sincere blessing. She absolutely dearly loved her family, kids, and grandkids, and was so proud of you-May her spirit live on with dearly Loved Husband Richard, and may your hearts be sincerely comforted. If there is anything I can do please let me know, my thoughts, cares, and sympathy. Let us all be reminded that to be truly strong and make a difference, a loving soft heart is what matters in the end, she had that, God Bless and Rest in Peace Barbara
My heartfelt condolences to Barbara Reineck’s family. Although we lived next door to each other for a little over a year we did not have much of an opportunity to see each other, however, she was a very sweet lady and will be missed along with Richard. They are together again and will be looking down on you with love.
Hi Brett…I send you a big hug of comfort and wish for you courage and strength as you go on in your day and keep giving your daughter papawisdom!
All the good your parents gave you you get to live with daily…….YAY…YAY.
I remember when my Papa left the planet you were a big part of comfort for me then. I’d like to think wherever he is ….maybe he and your parents are smiling down on us applauding us and encouarging us to Be The Best People We Can Be because they raised us. Ya know what I mean?
Blessings to you!

Im so sorry for your loss. Barb was a crack up. She is now with the love of her life. Condolences from the Manigian family.
Lynn and Brett, I’m so sorry you lost your mom. I remember how sweet she was when you lived in Sparta, NJ. Both your parents were role-models for what parenting should be. It’s a sad time for you and our thoughts and prayers are with you. Jane and Ron Harrigan
Lynn – I always enjoyed talking with your mom and remember with a smile the last time I saw her, just a few days before she died. We were in Target and she asked me how “real” the show Dance Moms was – lol! She was quite relieved when I talked with her and she learned the competitive dance world wasn’t really like that =)
I know she was an important fixture in your life, and that of your kids, and I’m so sorry she is gone. I miss seeing her smiling face at your dining room table.
Good By to my only sister. We shared so much through the years. You leave me with many fond memories that I will hold dear in my heart. You were blessed with a wonderful husband, a man I considered a good friend. You also had a great American family with loving children & grandchildren. Love Carole
I met Barbara when we were in our 20’s and enjoyed her “yearly” trips to Chicago with Richard. I have missed their Chicago visits, which were a source of enjoyment for her cousin Carole and for me. May she rest in peace.
