I do not belong to this community but your mail keep coming
to my mail box.
I wonder who could tell me who is the webmaster of your
community and I would like to be cleared from your list.
One of you suggested putting the word unsubscribe on the
subject column but it did not work, obviously.
Thank you.

Barbara was loved by so many of us.
She was a dear friend to me, wonderful mentor and the best fellow
counselor anyone could ask to work with.
While she was truly an outstanding RCB, she was even more outstanding as
a loving Mom and friend.
She would be so pleased with all the kind words, appreciation and warmth
shared by our community.
She was a truly gracious lady filled with class and humility, and she
never liked a fuss. She always deserved acknowledgment for her talents and
accomplishments.
But like those who understand what really matters in the long run;
Barbara understood the reward of caring about others, making sacrifices,
giving back to our community and working hard behind the sceens instead of
seeking RCB celebraty as it is so often the case with DOR counselors.
She knew to partner with our consumers in achieving successful outcomes
was not only a victory for one of our consumers, but a victory for the entire
blind community when one of us overcame barriers, and got a job or gained
independence and self reliance in another way. I always enjoyed working with
another RCB who never lost sight of our Mission at Rehab.
She sincerely cared about each and every one of her consumers, and she
still loved her job with the Department even after 11 years.
For those who were working with her, do not worry. What I'm able to
share with you is even now you're being assigned counselors who will continnue
what Barbara put in place for you. This is all I can say, but it's going to be
ok.
Please keep making progress; because this is the best way to honor her
memory, and honor yourselves.
We were all blessed to know this incredible kind unique human being. Her
spirit will always remain with each and every one of us She will remain in
our hearts.
Thank you all for such kind words celebrating the increddible life of
Barbara Messinger.
ps. Ok now, I'm back on topic of adaptive tech, and I appreciate those
who may not have known her being considerate enough to listen. It was
important to acknowledge such a treasured member and role model in our
community. But that's all I'll post here on this list.

How lovely of you to pay tribute to Barbara with your kind words. She
was,
indeed, a remarkable woman who had a passion for giving her Clients

opportunity to grow and learn. She was also a wonderful mother and
friend
to so many.
Thank you also for your kind words about ATS. We are honored and

have an opportunity to work with people like YOU!

I had her for a short as a counselor when I lived in California. I
thought
she was great. She was able to pull some strings for me to participate
in
the National statler center for carrerrs in Hospitality Service program.
Plus, she was able to get me some of the equipment needed when I moved
up
here to Idaho. Wayne Scott

I am sure we all know that on Friday, Barbra Messinger passed away.
She was
the counselor of many of us who allowed us to either participate in
the
workshops put on by ATS, and receive the fine work and training of
Adaptive
Tech. She leaves behind two young sons, 20 and 18. She will be sorely
missed.
For those of us who had her as a counselor and can attest to the fact
that
she was one of the best I have ever had, I know there may be some
uncertainty as to what will happen next. I cannot answer that. All we
can
do is know that the department is just learning of this as well and is
shocked by it also, and that all will be worked out in time.
Many blessings to all,
Christina
PS, sorry to those who will be receiving this twice and who may not
know
who this person is
